[PRCo] Re: PRCo Volumn 2

[John Bromley]

Hopefully he won't "borrow" unauthorized photos without permission, as was
the case for a number of items in Volume 1 that were photographed by both
myself and FWS and claimed in a letter to us that he didn't know whose they
were (despite the presence of our names on the backs of the photos).  And,
the reproduction quality of the first one was inferior for the price asked.
I have no reason to believe volume 2 will be any better, and the price is
ridiculous for low quality paper and mostly poor photo reproduction.  I was
told by Ed Skuchas at Berkshire that the book was actually printed several
years ago and Beal couldn't pay the rest of the bill so the printer wouldn't
release it.

Sounded like a soap opera.  Too bad, considering the subject.  Personally I
thought it was rather weak, research-wise.
