Wow! MOS used to sell that book for $5! Looks like he needs to do a printing run.

I doubt there will ever be a re print... However, MOS has given Philip Rykwalder permission to digitally copy and sell it as a PDF with profits going back to the caving community. No word on when this will happen though.
