Calling Karl... Book Title Request

[ccuheartnurse]

Hi Karl,

I remember reading a few weeks back, maybe even a couple months back, you had recommended a diamond book. I can't recall the thread. I don't think it's one of the ones on the book list & I think it was a fairly new book? What was the name of it?

Thank you kindly,
Judy

Judy while we are waiting for Karl just linking for you a few books. These are not new though so it probably isn't the one you are thinking of...

Thank you Missy. I hadn't come across the Breaking Diamonds thread & found it quite interesting!

The one I recall right off hand was:
American Cut – The First 100 Years,” by Al Gilbertson, G.G.

Hi Karl,

Thank you. I thought it might have been a new book but I was mistaken. That book is an awesome read.

I recently downloaded this book and currently reading myself. I've just scratched the surface but have enjoyed it this far.

When on my laptop I prefer the PDF version. While a free Kindle version is available, it apparently ran through a scanner of sorts so you have run on words, etc and graphics dont always make perfect sense. It's free so I'm not complaining. Just warning it wasnt edited for the Kindle specifically nor was the Kindle version edited/modified by a human. Still readable and usable though and a good read when flying.
