Thanks to Al Bubnis' comments, I've resized the book to an 8.5 X 11 format and realigned the drawings which Al had issues with ... making the book bigger did make the print bigger and religning the drawings somewhat enlarged the drawings and I fixed the color issues and added a few more photos. Unfortunately, as I feared; the price rose from $15.00 to $16.83. When it is "active" for sales - I will alert you. Tim

Received the book today from Amazon. Ditto on needing the larger pics and drawings. I realize it is a self published type work, but it would have been great to have a format like the In Action series. Any chance for another volume through them? Good work and great collection of photos of an overlooked cutter!

Just as a FYI: Thanks to the comments about the book from Al Bubnis and comments from Dr. Ross, I have revamped, resized and corrected the USCG 83-foot Cutter book and had it put out again. it's on Amazon for $17.18.

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.
