Could you please send the price of it.’Dr. Victor Benzhytskyy
‘I have already purchased from you a copy of Diesel Engines in english some time ago and I would like to compliment you on writing a truly great and very informative book. I have also a copy of a book, which was considered to be the Diesel Engine Bible, "Marine Diesel Engines" by CC Pounder, dating from 1977. Mr. Pounder was I believe Chief Engineer at Harland & Wolff in Belfast when they built diesel engines under licence from MAN and B&W. Your book far surpasses Mr. Pounders book as the Diesel Engine Bible. This edition is for my son Bryan, so if you could address it to him I would most appreciate it.’Kind regards, Frank Buckley
Dear Mr.Kuiken, First of all thank you for your remarkable book. Since spring of 2013 I started working as the teacher in IMCO. I'm sorry for my remark concerning a typographical error. As you, I have a wide experience as the maritime engineer, including the most interesting engines and vessels. Your book is very respected by me and our teachers. I'll e-mail your offers to the head of department. Unfortunately the personnel of college will be on vacation till the beginning of September. If you find it necessary to visit Oman, I'll be happy to meet you and get an autograph.
