Great review for BUILDING THE PT BOATS by Frank J. Andruss, Sr.

BUILDING THE PT BOATS is vastly exceeding my sales expectations. Terrific book.

It was waiting for me when I got home from work this afternoon. I haven’t read it yet, but have looked through it a number of times. Bottom line, I think this is the most significant book on PTs in decades!! I’m just delighted to have it. Ya done gud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A nit pick – there is no PT-200 sub-class. Boats in this group began with 197.

Thanks again for creating this important work.

Some complaints later in the post about picture quality. Bottom line: the photos tell a story that comes through just fine. Glossier paper, higher dpi would have meant much higher production cost. Higher cost = no book. It’s well worth it anyway.
