Summer's finally here, and Derek Fallon is looking forward to pelting the UPS truck with water balloons, climbing onto the garage roof, and conducting silly investigations.

- s***s (861)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI have been trying to build a complete collection of Skin Diver magazine and its special publications. I had not even known this one existed, so I see it as a reasonably good value. It was well packaged and was shipped very fast. It was in very good condition as it was described, but a little more information on it would have probably helped me make a quicker decision on buying it. I am glad I did.
