I have gotten reports of several errors when hitting the Paypal link. This appears to have been an issue with IE and the frames format of the AUE website. I think I have a fix around it now that seems to be working. If you still have issues getting to the Paypal link, you can try going right from the target page: AUE MAIN - FALL 2010
Feel free to PM me if you would rather pay by check or money order, or for wholesale pricing...
Cheers,
Mike

Paypal worked fine for me. No issues.

Barney, what is the Atlantic coast? I know that sounds stupid, but you know what I mean. Am I waiting for volume II?

 

[aue-mike]

Hi Frank-
Volume I spans from the GA/FL border (a few wrecks technically in GA are included) south to the Miami-Dade/Monroe County border, roughly around the Pacific Reef area. So, while Volume I might be of interest (especially if one were interested in getting the whole set for all Florida wrecks), Volume II covering the Florida Keys will be more of your backyard stuff. Volume III will cover Florida's Gulf coast...
Cheers,
Mike

If I buy it from the AUE website, will you personalize it?

 

[aue-mike]

But of course.

How does this new volume differ from Barnette's other book, Florida's Shipwrecks ?


(Also- Amazon lists the new book for $34.95 instead of $29.99... and the image of the book cover isn't coming up on their site)

How does this new volume differ from Barnette's other book, Florida's Shipwrecks ?

The 2003 book included narratives on about 175 natural shipwrecks from around the entire state. It did not include artificial reefs. This new book is much more detailed and focused on just the Atlantic region, and includes all major artificial reefs as well. There are over 1,300 entries in the new book. When added to pending Volumes II and III, the trio will cover every major wreck and artificial reef off Florida. Basically the be-all, end-all info source for Florida shipwrecks and artificial reefs.

(Also- Amazon lists the new book for $34.95 instead of $29.99... and the image of the book cover isn't coming up on their site)

Interesting, I was told Amazon, Barnes and Noble would not add that info for about 4 weeks. Good to see they are adding it already! The $34.95 price was my original retail price, but considering the economy and other factors, I decided to lower it a bit to $29.95. The price change will be updated at the end of the month.

Also, Amazon and others won't give you the 2003 book for free (which you get if you order before December 1 from the AUE site).

Cheers,
Mike

I noticed that about the Amazon price also. But figured for less, I could get more (2 books). I already own the other, but I loan it out often so it is rarely on my shelf when I want to look at it.
