The book is 8 1/2 X 11 hardback, 304 sewn pages, with 98 photos and drawings. It turned out to be an excellent book. It has had an excellent review that appears in Sea Classic magazine, and another review by the Naval War College.
Lots of nice things are happening for the book. All the honors mentions were instigated by others. I learn of them after the fact. Only 3000 copies were printed.
Kindest regards,

I wrote the book for the USS Saint Paul Association as a fund raising project, and gave all proceeds to them.
Also, the book is being considered for the John Lyman Book Award.
It's nice to have some friends in high places.
