The Alberta Speleological Society has put PDFs from scans of Mike Boon's books at http://www.caving.ab.ca/boon .
The Great San Agustin Rescue is Boon's personal account of his participation in the rescue of a Polish caver from Sótano de San Agustín. This was also reprinted as an article in AMCS Activities Newsletter 37 in 2014. Down to a Sunless Sea is Mike's report on his caving adventures in the early 1960s in the UK and elsewhere. A good read. The third book is poetry. The web page also includes a nice little biography of Boon. AMCS Activities Newsletter 38, 2015, contains some remembrances. Sid Perou's 40-minute video tribute to Mike Boon is also on the web site. It can also be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adoKD0vkiuU . --Mixon ---------------------------------------- Nothing is better than complete happiness in life.
