Heads Up.
Just procured two Cousteau books off the E bait at rock bottom prices. Father the Captain hardback for $4.50 and The Sea King paperback for $2.99. Prices included shipping and there were a few more available as of today. Both are NEW>

Thanks for the heads up! I just completed my order.
I some how suspect since the book has already gone into the remainder category. The book did not sell as expected and the name Cousteau does not have the appeal that it did a generation ago.
It will be interesting to compare JMC's impression of his father with other Cousteau books, especially "Cousteau; an unauthorized biography' by Axel Madsen..ISBN 0-8253-0386-9, Published in 1986, which was a tell all book.
Thanks again for the heads up~

Mark,
Just saw your post on JYC...
Is your wife, like you wearing glasses?
I was shocked, yet I recall you have been married 20 years? Seems like only yesterday!
By the way the gentleman who I obtained the Sea Hunt tapes from so many years ago for your then girlfriend was Sea Hunt Jerry who posts to this board.
As you know I was the US Divers company instructor for many years and was in contact with JYC - therefore had him also autograph a number of his books for me.
All is well
