I think I still have my copy of “Tin Can Sailors”

FWIW my interest in the Battle of Samar goes back to 5th grade when I read about it in an SBS novel, of all thinks :-)

I will have to check the local Library for the Houston book.

My interest in the Battle of Samar was more personally motivated: my grandfather was injured during the landings at Leyte Gulf. He very well might have died that day had it not been for the brave men of Taffy 3.
