Diving with and Without Armor by J.B. Green

[DaleC]

I just read an except of this book in JYC's Underwater Treasury and am interested in the actual book. First published in 1859 by Faxon Seam Power Press in Buffalo NY. Has anyone ever seen a reprint available or even... a first copy? I should add "Hard cover". I see some PB's available from Amazon.

I have a reprint of this book and have read it twice. It is very interesting and entertaining to read, very much worth purchasing. I believe that this is the first biography ever written by a diver.

I have reprinted the book in its exact format

I did a reprint of this book with a friend in 1990. I included some side scan photos of the steamer "Atlantic" that were taken by Gary Kozak when he relocated the wreck in 1982. I also included some photos of helmets from that era. I printed 657 copies. They all were sold in 2 weeks and I only have my one and only copy. This was a fun project and a great read. We printed them in my brothers basement and assembled them on my dining room table.

Hi guys, just saw your responses. How did you do the reprints. Did you have actual books or did you find the text on line?

Here is a link to a version at Google Books. Maybe this will tide you over until you can find a hardcover.

There is no hardcover. This was a paperback. I had a graphic artist laser copy my ORIGINAL copy and it is virtually identical down to the thread stitching for the binding. The ONLY difference is is is slightly (fractions of an inch) smaller. I will sell you a copy for $15 with a money back guarantee. PM me.

Thanks Scott for the link and Lee for the offer. I'll think about it. Good follow up to an older thread
