Yes, get it.    Mine is all marked up with a yellow highlighter... LOL 
(something I do with all my non-fiction books).
 
Much of it is a fairly fast read.  
 
Drop in and see him - you might be surprised!  I've been shocked a few times 
at how down to earth some people like that are.  I just shoot off an email to 
people and get responses from people I'd never think would reply, but they do.

Wow; beautiful creek, James! It's hard to believe it could dry up. My creek
is about 1/4 the size, but runs all year. Well, actually it's frozen solid
right now...when all this snow melts...that's when it takes out the sluice
pipe at the crossing.
