Hi Guys,
Well, ... thanks to comments that I received from Al Bubnis and from Dr. Al Ross; I resized, revamped and corrected my 83-foot cutter book - and while I was doing that, Dan Withers, who owns the CG-83527 sent me additional material to include in the text and I did.
The book went "live" again last week - on Amazon and CreateSpace ... just now, I received the five copies which I will send to the IPMS JOURNAL (to have it reviewed), the USCG Academy's library and the US Naval Academy and the USCG museum in Barnstable, MA .
I've got to say, the revamped book really impressed me. The larger format really improves it greatly.
