Re: [Texascavers] book review: Underwater Potholer

Considering that the official release date of the book is October 7, 2015, I imagine Amazon will be able to get more if it needs to. I got mine on Amazon, too, but I quoted the publisher's list price. Presumably just about everybody knows he can get it at least a little bit cheaper on Amazon. --
