Some months ago, I put down some money to reserve a copy of THIS book. The author had the photographs and the layout, but needed to get orders for 250 copies (IIRC) to make it worth printing the book. I took a flyer, and apparently I won and he got his minimum, because the book came yesterday. It is utterly beautiful, and anybody who has been diving in Southern California would love to look through the spectacular photographs.
It can be done. Jan, are you listening? (On a more sober note, the author said he'd be delighted to talk to you about how he went about this.)

The entire book is like that. It's something you leaf through very slowly, relishing each and every page.

A coffee table book by Jan would be wonderful. I have a copy of the small book he put out a couple of years ago (signed by the author/photographer/artist of course!), and would be the first in line to preorder another book he puts out. Jan, are you out there? Your photos with the clever art work to accompany them would make a wonderful book! Please hook a brother up!

First in line? You'd have to beat me to it!
