5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Cover to Cover, July 1, 2006
This review is from: A Sailor's Story (Hardcover)
Had the pleasure of meeting Allan Slaff and he gave me a book. I was unable to put it down once I opened it. Allan has led an incredible life and is the poster child for success. You name it. Allan's done it and done it well. I hope he writes another one!
