This book may be of some interest to people on this forum. I haven't seen it in person.

The Measure of Manhattan: The Tumultuous Career and Surprising Legacy of John Randel, Jr

A review here mentions that the book quotes Dave Doyle and Scott Zelenak.

My dear Bill, and thank you for past favors, I read and reviewed that same book here not long ago.
It's a wonderful read; I tried to promote it but got little response, at least not much that was posted, as I recall.
It had been previously noted by another poster...I've tried just now to link to those earlier threads, but things (my iPad or this site) are glacial right now so I gave up.

Good book, nonetheless.

Don

Don,

I purchased that book and read it from your earlier review. It made a great read and one day if I make it to NY, it would be fantastic to see that bolt in the rock.
