Thanks John! :-)

Nice guy.   It covers from pre civil war thru last year.   Even has a chapter on the Greys.

It's available on Amazon and I saw it at B&N.   Author was selling it for $

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed there are a few copies on Ebay. I marked one to watch (the seller has several copies available) and might have to BIN (Buy It Now) tonight or tomorrow.
