Jan's book
Jan's book
I thought this deserved its own thread, rather than being buried in the long one with all the picture pages.
Yesterday, I got my copy of Jan's book, Beneath the Whidbey Island Waters. I have only one criticism of it -- It is WAY too short!
The small book is absolutely beautiful. The quality of the reproduction of the photographs is excellent. This screams out to be a Christmas present for anybody you know who dives around here, or divers from elsewhere who would enjoy seeing what we go down there to see, or for non-divers who keep asking the question, "Does anything live down there?"
Thank you, Jan, for getting this put together (although I still think a real publisher and a real coffee-table book should be in your future!)

AWESOME!!! Thanks for showing some details.
I realized all the info about this is on the Whidbey Island thread - buried! Glad a new thread that highlights this book has been started.
I just ordered my copy, Jan.

Jan, I got my book!! Thank you so much for sending it so quickly!
I think you should be autographing these
Anyway, it's a great book and really fun to have around to show guests. (and my curious grandchildren who love sea critters too!)

Aw man! And I already have mine and no autograph! Oh well I am going to have to stalk Jan at Keystone and run up to him like he's a rock star with my book open and pen out.. I'll even sigh, screem, and cry if you want Jan.. If you ever wondered what it felt to be a beetle..

I saw Delaina's book. It is indeed beautiful, and can't wait to own one for myself. It will also make a great gift.

Got my books yesterday-one autographed for me, and one for non-diving friends. I love mine and can't wait for the longer version. And I hope paging through their copy will spur my friends to finally learn to dive. But if not, I'm sure they'll still enjoy it-it is sooooo beautiful, and educational, and humorous-what's not to love?
Thanks again, Jan.

NOT diving is NOT an option
NOT diving is NOT an option
We really need to figure out how to get a publisher interested in putting together a coffee-table book of Jan's pictures. Anybody know anything about publishing?

Ordered mine wednesday night, if not thursday sometime...and sure enough, got home from work today (friday) and it was waiting for me! Quick! Jan, the pictures look wonderful, and sign me up for an extended coffee table edition. Maybe this collection will convince my dad to hop back in the Puget Sound. I am hoping, after all he is the one that got me interested in diving, and I have to drag him toward the equator to get him suiting up to go diving anymore!
Thanks, and have a wonderful Christmas.
