Rising Tide

News commentators keep talking about the Mississippi flood of 1927, and referring to the 1998 book Rising tide : the great Mississippi flood of 1927 and how it changed America by John M. Barry. We do have the book, but at this point there's a whole flock of people lined up to read it, and it's long (won't turn over fast). We'll try to get another copy or two.
