I have heard through the grapevine that Mike Shipley's first book was not the sailors book, he had one book before then but I cannot find it anywhere to get a copy and I don't even know what topic it is, could someone help me out on this, I'd love to get my hands on it! Thanks!!

If you go to Amazon.com you will find four books by him. Amazon is a great outlet for buying new and used carving books at excellent prices. I have bought from them several times.
