Richard,

Thanks for the list. I have all of them except Ian Sutherland's book. In fact while I was on vacation in the Great Smokie Mountains there was one up for sale on e-bay. Price so far on Saturday was only up to $55 and it had 1 day to go (sunday in the late afternoon). On Sunday we were at our cabin which was at 4,0430 ft. I had it locked on and was waiting for the last seconds so I could bid $125. I lost my signal at 40 seconds to go and it sold to somebody for $119.

Note: This book is in the $500 range when found. Even my book on "Special Forces at War" By Shelby Statton(SP?) is worth $1000 and I only paid $50 for it. Bottom line is that SOG books are going to become collectable in a few years! Some of the books Richard stated along with what others here have also stated are going to bring in high prices in the future.

D9,

Franklin Miller was one of the true billy bad butts (BBB) to have hit SOG. Plaster in his book called him a little to crazy for his friend Glenn from Hawaii who ran with Miller. Miller was absolutely "good in the woods" as they say. He knew what he wanted to do, it was his way so it was the right way and it simply worked. By the way Miller died of, I believe Kidney cancer back in 2004.

Finally, a few of the books mentioned here will be highly collectable since they are no longer available.
