TY - JOUR T1 - DEsert island reading AU - McAdams JA Y1 - 1969/06/02 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1969.03160090063021 JO - JAMA SP - 1703 EP - 1703 VL - 208 IS - 9 N2 - To the Editor:—  This year's book number is, as usual, great, but I disagree with Richard Armour's choice of books (208:139, 1969) If I were to be marooned on a desert island and could have only one book, I would choose neither the King James version of the Bible nor Richard Armour's suggested New English Dictionary, but rather Rowen's Practical Art of Shipbuilding.
