Review: Good book - Loved it Review: David Eugene Ostergaard is my father, and the author ... - David Eugene Ostergaard is my father, and the author of this and Advanced Diemaking. McGraw-Hill has never recognized him or his family in any way. While he should have received, and should still be receiving a percentage of all sales of his books, no monies or other recognition have ever been offered. As these books are still being used at colleges nationwide, I feel it is important for buyers to know this. Thank you everyone who appreciates his work. should you care to offer input, i can be found on Face Book as Laurie Ostergaard-Overbey.
