Some very interesting reading, offering a view of an alternate reality had the project come to fruition. Published under the aegis of the University, who are listed as the publishers on the cover. I can find no online reference to this work, making it fairly close to — if not — unique. However, an version of the work, under the title "Offshore Jetport for New York–New Jersey Megalopolis" was published in Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE in 1971. 128 single-side mimeographed typewritten pages with plastic comb binding in very good condition, with light toning to covers and page edges. Light handling to covers. From the Summary,
Although the congestion at the New York-New Jersey metropolitan airports is becoming increasingly critical, there is no proposed site for a fourth airport which has gained the acceptance needed for planning and construction to commence.An offshore airport is proposed off the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey, near the city of Long Branch, to serve the needs of the region by 1980. Such location would have minimum adverse effect on the environment and population of the region, while satisfying the aviation needs of the area.
A combined dike and sand fill construction is proposed as being the most economical construction method for an offshore platform suitable for a large international airport, for the geologic and hydrologic conditions of the area.
The Long Branch site is proposed as having met an optimum combination of planning and design criteria. Other sites acceptable in some respects, were less acceptable in other aspects of the site selection process.

Additional purchases may be combined if bought same day, for one low shipping rate, if possible. Add to your cart and request total from seller for combined shipping. Sales Tax may apply, that's between you and ebay now. Please read and accept my terms of sale below before you bid.
You will find that the originals of the photos below are often larger than what ebay provides above.
1) COMBINED SHIPPING/POSTAGE:
a. I happily combine shipping (where possible, sometimes it isn’t). eBay requires tracking on all orders now to protect my above standard seller status, and to prevent the misuse of missing information. So please don’t ask me to just “throw it in a regular envelope.”
b. If you haven't paid yet for multiple purchases, please wait for a combined invoice, which may take up to 24 hours to send you. Don't worry, it's not a race to see how fast you can pay.
c. If you must pay immediately, make sure all the items are on the same payment transaction (same order). I will then be able to combine shipping (if possible) and send you a partial refund for overpayment of postage. Some people make numerous multiple purchases with separate payments and look for a shipping discount. That will not happen, so please add your items to your cart, and when you are done looking at my stuff, buy it all at once. Thanks!
2) POSTAGE: All USPS postage rates are calculated using the most affordable (not the quickest) shipping class, based on a pre-sale estimated weight and size of the package. Sometimes multiple options are offered. If you want to upgrade to a quicker, more expensive postal class not shown, you must let me know BEFORE you pay. And all requests for special handling, extra packaging, etc. must be made prior to payment so that invoice can be adjusted.
3) INSURANCE: In the event of loss or damage on insured packages, buyer agrees to fulfill all requirements of the insurer in the processing of a claim, or forfeits their right to request a refund.
4) SALES TAX: Ebay has taken over all responsibility for sales tax collection for all states that require it. I have no control whatsoever over who pays sales tax, it is out of my hands. The same is true for all international taxes, duties and VAT. Please direct all questions/complaints to the good folks at Ebay.
5) INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We no longer ship any merchandise (including postcards) via letter rate internationally. It is prohibited by the UPU (subject to seizure or return), and is also not trackable. International shipping is offered as a courtesy to those who can afford it, and is handled entirely through eBay. All Import duties, taxes, and charges are handled by eBay as well. I no longer ship directly, because of the excessive amount of “item not received” claims, resulting in my loss.
Most of my frugal international postcard buyers have a friend/relative in the USA to whom I can ship up to several postcards in a letter-rate tracked envelope (for about $1.00-1.50 at time of this listing), and will specify this shipping address prior to payment. If you do this, then that friend may forward the postcards in a prohibited letter rate envelope to you the buyer, and the shipping risk will be yours, not mine. Multiple purchases can also be combined when you ship to a USA recipient, but not otherwise. This is the way of the future on ebay, as more and more sellers move away from the risks of untracked international letter rate mail.
6) REPRODUCTION OF IMAGES: Seller is not selling the exclusive rights to reproduce images of the item offered. Buyer is of course free to reproduce as they wish, but seller retains and may exercise the right to reproduce any images of the item for any purpose before or after the sale, without permission from or compensation to the buyer.
7) LISTING DISCREPANCIES: If the Title, Description, and/or Photo on a listing do not match, for gosh sakes don't buy it. Mistakes happen. Let me know instead so I can fix the listing. If you do buy, the item described in the Title of the listing takes precedence over anything else. If you don't agree with this, I will consider it your request to cancel the transaction of the faulty listing.
