Verisimilitude? Ain't that a bit of grandiloquent fustian? But it is a good idea for Joe—kind of like launching a weathercock rockoon, I'd say, throwing the idea out on the stoop to see if the cat licks it up.

Hey Joe -
Instead of getting angry, why not make money??  Why not publish your updates?  For a reasonable price, who wouldn't want to be on the cutting edge of historical verisimilitude?

Alan asked: "Is the 10th Edition the last and latest? Is anyone compiling or researching old information and adding new?"
 
Alan,
For years, I've been forwarding "varifiable" information to Pierce and none of it hit the printed page. It's probably lost in some filing cabinet at his Son's house, (who now oversees the publishing, etc.) 
Every time I find something that is "verifiable" I write it in the current Atlas. I have ALL of my olde ones, so all of that data is accessable.<G> 
I just wish that his Son would get with the program, a bit. There is, I suspect, a lot of info that would be of immense help, in his files.
The one thing that did get changed, which is WRONG, is the serial numbers for Knabe 9 footers. Somehow Randy Potter convinced Piece to change that. It is Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. If you have to date these beasts, you need to consult one of the olde Atlases, it gives a hint, but that's all. Grrrr!
