“Mr. Graham’s book is a concise, highly readable explanation of why our US petroleum reserves have been neglected for a quarter of a century. It should be read by everyone who is concerned about our dependence on foreign oil.” Professor Ernest E. Smith

"Anyone who really wants to know Why Your Gasoline Prices Are High should buy a copy of the book of the same name by Seldon B. Graham, Jr. ($10.95, iUniverse, softcover). Just over fifty pages in length, the author has a year in the oil industry for every page in the book. He’s been a petroleum engineer, an oil and gas attorney, and an expert witness in hearings. What he has done in this extraordinary book is to make a very complex industry understandable to the reader. He warns against the many ways ignorant journalists misunderstand or distort the facts. He warns against the Hollywood image of oilmen, always portrayed as villains, and he warns against believing that America and the world is running out of oil. In the process, he explains how the whole global system works. You can read this book in a very short time, but I guarantee that, if you do, you will no longer be the victim of self-serving politicians and others who want to leave America vulnerable for lack of access to our own extensive oil reserves.
