Amazon listing the 2007 Sub Almanac now

Amazon now carries the last copies of the 2007 edition.


The 2008 Edition is getting ready to launch this holiday.

I wonder if the 2007 Sub Almanac will be on ebay someday for $100 or more, seeing how it was the first one and all.

Ha, ha a little seed thought for you collectors ...

COOL! Maybe it will still be there when I finally have a card again. I've been wanting it forever (well, at least since it was released).

Actually, the 2007 Almanac is very good. Great stories, real and fiction. I'm certainly getting the 2008 Almanac when it is out. Seriously, a very nice book.

Actually, I posted a review for it virtually the minute it went up on Amazon, but it took days for my review to appear for some reason. So it's number five on the list of reviews, the one titled: 'All ahead flank for a great read' - in case you're curious.

I notice that it lists some used copies for sale too, which is sort of bizarre, I can't imagine anyone buying it and then wanting to get rid of it. Incidentally, I didn't just write a decent review simply to 'plug' Subsim, it really is a great book with some really useful reference in it if you like subs, so if anyone here hasn't got it, why the hell not?

No sir! I submitted a review at Amazon. Made the purchase of the book after a free offer from Neal. No sir, paid my money and paid shipping/handling. I read the book and reviewed it for Neal. It is all there bro. I'm looking forward to the 2008 book. Really, it is a great book.

You will like it Sixpack. It is very good. I will be ordering 2008 when it is available. Amazon is pretty good with getting the hard to find books.

Oops, should have used the Simpsons banner instead of the link for some extra bucks to subsim, or so it seems.........

The 3 sailing books are underway. The Almanac a mystery but no worries.
