Book Stack

Small Craft Advisor has been sharing photos of readers' collections of boat related books. Thought I'd share my Stack with SCA but due to 'technical difficulties' I wasn't able to attach a photo to an email to SCA. 

So, here it is: my Book Stack:

Not as large a collection as some - but I forgot to include my Swallows & Amazons series and Good Little Ship (the story of Arthur Ransome's own boat). 

That thicker black book near the bottom of the stack is Dutton's Navigation and Piloting, acquired when I attended the USCG Academy in the late 60s. When I left the Academy, for some inexplicable reason, I kept Dutton's and left Bowditch's The American Practical Navigator. Over the years I've thought about that choice - and wish I had both books.
