Let \(X\) be a Banach space and let \(X_1\) denote its closed unit ball. For a closed subspace \(Y \subset X\), it is easy to see that if \(Y_1\) is a proximinal subset of \(X\), then \(Y\) is a proximinal subspace. Motivated by an example, due to \textit{F. B. Saidi} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 133, No. 9, 2697--2703 (2005; Zbl 1071.41033)], of a Banach space \(X\) and a closed proximinal subspace \(Y\subset X\) such that \(Y_1\) is not a proximinal set, the reviewer and his collaborators have initiated the study of ball proximinal subspaces, i.e., subspaces \(Y\) for which \(Y_1\) is a proximinal set. In this interesting paper, using the notion of equability, due to D. Yost, the author shows that any equable subspace is strongly ball proximinal and the metric projection is Hausdorff metric continuous (H.m.c). She then applies these ideas to the space of continuous functions valued in a uniformly convex Banach space \(X\) to conclude that \(C(Q,X)\) is strongly ball proximinal in its bidual and the metric projection map is H.m.c. This substantially improves on some earlier results of the reviewer. The paper also contains an example, due to G. Godefroy, of a Banach space \(X\) for which \(X_1\) is not a strong proximinal set. The geometry of spaces where this can happen is waiting to be discovered. Reviewer's remark: The reference to article [2] on page 79 is incorrect.
