I've really enjoyed reading the first two books in the series. Has anyone read the new third book? It sounds like it has less to do with life in Padanaram at Concordia and more to do with the establishment of Mystic Seaport. Any comments?

I have it here, a gift from a fellow Concordia owner and occasional lurker. There hasn't been enough time to devour it cover to cover, but I'd say 50% is on the schooner Integrity and the other half Mystic Seaport & the two intertwine of course.

You can't have one volume and not all three...

I really enjoyed "The Years Before the War" volume, so I found a nice copy of "The Condordia Years" from Alibris. Inside was a folded paper: a handwritten letter from Waldo Howland to the original owner of the book. I'll try to scan a copy and post it. Rick
