CONTINUOUSWAVE

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the positive comments regarding Unsinkable: The History of Boston Whaler. I hope it serves as a fitting tribute to the brand and its proud heritage.

A number of people have commented about wanting to get their book signed. Of course, I'm more than happy to do so. Geography, as in military and political history, matters. I'm based in Los Angeles, but I'm working to build a travel schedule for the fall and winter to support the book. With any luck, I'll be in attendance at some of the larger boat shows (Boston, NYC, Miami, Chicago). Likewise, I'm trying to interest maritime museums and local bookstores to bring me in to speak/read and sign books.

If you're interested in hearing updates on my travel schedule, sign up for the occasional newsletter on the book's website (http://www.thewhalerbook.com) or visit my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/thewhalerbook).

I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Thanks,

I'd consider Fort Lauderdale boat show this fall. In my opinion its far superior than Miami

I've heard that the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show is an important show on the calender. I'm working with BW to figure out if they can provide me some space to sign books and talk about the experience. Same for shows in Boston, NYC, Chicago, etc.

Thank you!

I live in Calabasas, work in Woodland Hills and my parents live in your city... Magnolia/Wittset area. Maybe I can let you know next time I'm in the area.

Send me an email (thewhalerbook@gmail.com) or find me on Facebook when you know you're going to be in town. If the schedules work, I'm sure we can find a time to meet.

Same goes for anyone else within the CW community. If you find yourself in the LA area, drop me a line.

Best,
Matt

Sir,

I am almost through reading your fantastic book for a second time. Great work !

I do have a question for you. If there is an error do you want to know? Are there plans for revisions?

Thanks again,

M

Hi InVision!

Thanks for reading the book. Sadly, you are not the first to catch an error or three in the book. (Perhaps most egregiously, I mislabeled a Dauntless as an Outrage in one photo.)

On the positive side, the book is already heading into its second printing and a couple of the errors were caught in time. On an even more positive note, the publisher believes interest in the book will justify a third printing. My goal is to have all of the errors cleaned up by the 3d printing.

That said, feel free to drop me an email (thewhalerbook@gmail.com) with your observations. I've created a list of mistakes to correct before that 3d printing and I'll add yours to it.

Thanks--
