[sustran] Re: Book announcement

[Wendell Cox]

Actually, there is nothing of value at Amazon on this book --- just an indication
that it is not yet available.

Will the new book include updates to the same city based information as was in the
original? Would be most interested in learning anything about the contents.

Best regards,
Wendell Cox
