    Well it’s been a week now and I haven’t heard a thing from anyone at www.tillerbooks.com . Has anyone else tried?

    I talked to the publisher and he is planning on a reprint this winter. They haven't decided on a price yet, the range is from $50.00 to $100.00. A list of people wanting to buy it will encourage him to print it faster and probably cheaper. The minimum run is 1000 books.

    how great

    Common Sense in Yacht design is a fantastic book. How great it is that a band of people is trying to get it republished. I have to say though, it is pretty satisfying coming across a copy here and there. I picked mine up for $50, while there were others for sale at the time for over $200. One source all of you might want to talk to is Llewelnyn Howland in Jamaica Plain Mass. He is an antiquarian book dealer with plenty of connections in the nautical publishing universe. I'm sure he could offer something to this process.

    Common Sense in Yacht Design

    I am a lerker for the most part but if the publisher needs a list of names, count me in. This sounds like it would make a good addition to my references.

    The Common Sense of yacht design

    I, Peter Cohrs of Kingston, Ontario, would be interested in a re-reprint copy of "The Common Sense of Yacht Design" by "you know who", should the members get a reprint arranged.
    Cheers,

    Yes.
    Please.
    Include me.

    All copies I've seen are in two volumes. Would wish to have it all! Would also wish to retain the large format, hard cover, and high quality graphics.
