Guys, I appreciate all the compliments. I can't tell you how important it was to me that the book be done right, with the proper respect for these great animals. I'm sure, as with anything, that there will be detractors, but it has been very nice to hear how well everyone is receiving the book. The comments have been pretty overwhelming. My main objectives were to get the stories right, paint in in the proper light, and make it worthy of the subject matter. I know I have done the best I can (six years worth), I just hope it is enough! Glad you guys are enjoying it!
