What a shock. Since I left publishing and move east, I've been out of touch with Carroll. He was a friend first, then a neat, no-nonsense guy that shed light on many engineering subjects for the DIY guys through his books. And the book "Nuts and Bolts and Fasteners" was a book I envsioned and asked Carroll to write for me while I was publisher at HPBooks. Although it didn't happen at HP because of a corporate sellout/buyout, Carroll took the idea to another publisher where the book was published and proved to be a success along with his other books. We will miss him.
