I purchased a copy of "MASK and FLIPPERS ... the story of skin diving" by Loyd Bridges and Bill Barada (copyright 1960) from Amazon.Com for $15.00 last summer .......james croft:I collect diving books and cannot pass a used bookstore without looking for one I don't have. Hit paydirt today and purchased DIVE by Rick & Barbara Carrier written in 1955 for $1.50 and a 1965 first edition of Above & Below by Tom Shelnick for $2.00 Both are loaded with great pics of vintage gear and are a great reference for a vintage diver such as myself. Needless to say I would have paid a bit more for these books if the sellers knew of the growing interest in vintage dive literature. They would also sell well on ebay. Don't throw your old brochures and catalogs away. Vintage divers use them to aid in classifying gear configurations and in collecting equipment.
