[Geysers] Historical Yellowstone Book

[Pat Snyder]

I agree with Gary's review here, it is a very nice book and  
informative, and I just found out the Yellowstone Association has more  
of this book in stock now (mine was backordered for about three  
weeks). Those of you with Association membership will receive your  
member discount on it if you order from them.
