Webmaster Note: Re: The Dolphin 24 Website Book. We've got about 25 names on the list that want books, and it doesn't make economic sense to print less than 50-60. And, there have been so many additions, changes, etc., on the website over the past 6+ years that an 'updated' edition would make more sense. Maybe, but no time, and no plans in the near future. BUT - IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TURN IN THEIR COPY LET ME KNOW!! I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BUY IT!!! CONTACT RONBREAULT@CS.COM
