For those that are interested, here is his book on ebay, and it's fairly cheap now. Yes, I know you can download and print it out, but some of us like an old fashioned book.

If you want to know about the PLSS, his book is great!

Several years ago I learned that the Oregon BLM office had the book for sale. Well, I put off ordering it. I finally called up there and they told me that they didn't sell it anymore, but they had a used one on the shelf they'd give me.

Powell's Bookstore in Portland almost always has a copy available, used. They are on the web, just google "Powells".

I can't go to Powell's anymore... The baggage fee for a 60 lb. suitcase is out of hand!

We can't remember how we acquired our copy, but it holds a place of honor among our surveying books. The PDF has its downside in the form of weird mis-scannings, and its upside in its being searchable.

Cheers,
Henry

I've been a Powell's buyer and seller since the 70's. Frankly, it is the people's Alexandria for books. Free shipping for over $50. Got several of my original survey references there. HOW TO on any subject you want. Just forget Amazon for books. Powells is superior.

I had to stop visting my niece in Portland....

Both my truck, or my wifes car would engage "autodrive"
and deliver me to Powells... where I would then offer up
my wallet to the betterment of their business model.
That's IF there's money left over after going to the
Danner factory outlet out by PDX.

I think there's a Powells 12 step group in Portlandia now....
to far away to save me though.
