I received a brochure of Skydiving Book Service (P.O. Box 1520
DeLand, FL 32721) about the books they have in stock. Below I give
the list of the available titles. I don't know any of these books,
the description is taken from the brochure.
Are there net.skydivers who know these books, and who would recommend
some of these books (or any others). Post your comments to the net.
