Side scan sonar recommendations for shipwrecks

[Salvor6]

Bill check into the Starfish sidescan. I have heard nothing but good things about it and it is low cost. You can even find used units for sale on Ebay. It is a true CHIRP (compressed high intensity radar pulse) and you can get it up to 1200 KHz resolution.

Hey Pete...We bought a Humminbird Solix 15 CHIRP si to see if we can get good images with it rigged on a fish...It's a true CHIRP setup with 455/800kHz/1.2 mHz sweeps. We shall see how it works soon.

While I hesitate to resurrect an old thread. sometimes it is neccessary for proper context...therefore:
Does anyone have a copy of this book for sale or know where one might be found at a reasonable cost? If so, let me know.
Thanks!

That is, indeed, the book. I'm just looking for one that is a little more affordable. (I am not at all adverse to used books.) $189.00 is a pretty big jump on the hope that it is better than Phillipe Blondel's "Handbook of Sidescan Sonar and a couple of others.

That is pretty speedy, will keep a look out
