Nautical book authors



I like books of the old tall ship variety mostly. I have compiled a list of authors & titles that I use when I go to the library, or to bookstores. Sadly, many of these are not available in our library system in Albuquerque, NM (USA) - Grrrrr and several more don't seem to be available in the US at all. If anyone has additions to this list, I'd appreciate hearing from you so I can add the author and his/her books to my "I will Read" list. As you can tell, I've spent countless hours searching sites on the internet to compile it.
