I own a copy, it's a pretty dry read in spots, but there's some great stuff in there, too. Especially for $13 or whatever it was going for!!!

The Falcon Soars by Stuart Givens would also make a great Christmas present for Saxy, and was in fact written to supplement the Overman book. Those two would make a great weekend of reading!

Yeah, that's what I forgot earlier, the Overman book is from the beginning until about 1960 or so, then the Stu Givens book goes from 1960ish to the mid-to-late '80s... both are in the private collection.Bleeding Orange wrote:The Falcon Soars by Stuart Givens would also make a great Christmas present for Saxy, and was in fact written to supplement the Overman book.
