These publications have been out of print and difficult to find for years. 
Great resource.

Re: [Texascavers] Mike Boon's books

[Logan McNatt via Texascavers]

Thanks for the information, Bill. Mike Boon was a unique and 
unforgettable character to everyone who knew him, and even to those who 
just knew about him. For those who didn't, it's worth your time to learn 
about this legendary caver and personality.

The Great San Agustin Rescue is Boon's personal account of his participation in 
the rescue of a Polish caver from Sótano de San Agustín. This was also 
reprinted as an article in AMCS Activities Newsletter 37 in 2014.

Down to a Sunless Sea is Mike's report on his caving adventures in the early 
1960s in the UK and elsewhere. A good read.

The third book is poetry.

The web page also includes a nice little biography of Boon. AMCS Activities 
Newsletter 38, 2015, contains some remembrances.

Sid Perou's 40-minute video tribute to Mike Boon is also on the web site. It 
can also be seen at

Nothing is better than complete happiness in life.
A ham sandwich is better than nothing.
Therefore a ham sandwich is better than complete happiness in life.

[Texascavers] Mike Boon's books

[Mixon Bill via Texascavers]

The Alberta Speleological Society has put PDFs from scans of Mike Boon's books 
at
http://www.caving.ab.ca/boon .

The Great San Agustin Rescue is Boon's personal account of his participation in 
the rescue of a Polish caver from Sótano de San Agustín. This was also 
reprinted as an article in AMCS Activities Newsletter 37 in 2014.

Down to a Sunless Sea is Mike's report on his caving adventures in the early 
1960s in the UK and elsewhere. A good read.

The third book is poetry.

The web page also includes a nice little biography of Boon. AMCS Activities 
Newsletter 38, 2015, contains some remembrances. 

Sid Perou's 40-minute video tribute to Mike Boon is also on the web site. It 
can also be seen at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adoKD0vkiuU .
