All ...

I have just been informed via email from my publisher that, my MAS book is currently at the printers and 'we' should have a Proof by next week.

It is on track for its April 1, 2011 release date. The book will be a hardcover book this time. It'll also be available through Kindle and Google eBook (whatever that is).

Again, I have to give credit where credit is due for this book. It would not have come to fruition if it wasn't for the assistance I received from the archives of the Italian Navy, RADM Maurizio Ertreo, Vincent P. O'Hara, and Ms. Maria Mia Pizzali.

Without their assistance, this book would be nothing like it is. I am VERY GRATEFUL for the level and the amount of assistance I received from those people and the Italian Navy.

Thanks to them, this is truly my BEST book ever.

Garth

Sorry, no Alan, though it does have one photo of the Isotta-Franschini engine which powered the 500 Series.

Alan, please contact me offsite ... I'd like to ask you something.
