That will be a sad day. One of the best books I checked out of the library during my graduate studies was a copy of "Wind Waves" from 1965 with handwritten corrections written in pen by some former student.
Yes, by Blair Kinsman. There are a few errors in the equations of the first edition. Minus signs that should be plus signs and things like that. My copy was stamped "University of Alberta" as the University of Calgary only became an independent institution in 1967.
If you're interested in this topic, my second-favourite was Biology and the Mechanics of the Wave-Swept Environment by Mark W. Denny. The books are both good overviews of the subject of ocean waves and they have a folky charm that makes them quite enjoyable.
