[PRCo] Re: Beal Books

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

There was some scuttlebutt a few months ago about these books.  It may have
come from Ron himself when he was trying to contact Bill Vigrass for
pictures.  Ron was as unhappy as the rest of us with the quality of the
McKeesport book.  He has gone to a different publisher in order to get a
better product.  We can only hope.

I rather hope, probably in vain, that the photo quality is superior to the
McKeesport book, and that perhaps not as much space is wasted.  It would be
nice if good track maps were included showing, if not each route, at least
the areas covered.

This is probably the one crack at this huge and complex topic, which
probably should have been done 30 years ago when the knowledge bin was
somewhat more well stocked.  We're not getting any younger.
