Comment: Here, at last, is the book on the Vertex we have all been waiting for, and so far as I can tell, it is the definitive one. The book was based on research carried out by the author while part of the short-lived NCGR chapter in Fort Worth, TX, with inspiration from Doris Greaves & the late Zip Dobyns.
