As for being released electronically, if the Naval Institute can't afford the cost of cleaning up scan errors, I suppose volunteers will do it when, decades from now, these become public domain. |
Phew! I'm relieved that you liked it after just taking my word for it. I'm interested in your opinion about
Samurai! when you're finished reading it. If it's as insightful as Hara's book, then I'll hunt down a copy for myself.
