I think I've seen it advertised > in paddling magazines...just doesn't qualify for the dirt cheap requirement. It is not out of print but rather in a new print and even a new hardcover. It is advertised in Sea Kayaker among other places. Also sold by the Klepper/Western Folding Kayak Center. I have an original copy of the book from its first printing in the 1950s. I had looked all over New York for one back in the late 1980s to no avail. I was visiting friends in Nashville and at one of those restaurants that also have a book store attached. Included was an antique book section. I went up to the clerk and asked where their marine titles might be. I went and there in perfect shape for $7 was an original. I guess being that far inland was of help. Boy, was I pleased. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
