What good books for the Thames should I buy?

[HONEYMOMMY]

Looking for some good books to start us off.

Mooring, map, guide, rules etc.

Can anyone recommend any?

Ebay for an old Nicholson OS Guide to the river thames.

Lovely little book, very informative, and even if a bit out of date, little has changed!

Item no 250834818138 for example. Just a couple of quid....

 

[HONEYMOMMY]

Sounds to me you may be selling a book. I will take a look. Thank you.

 

[No Regrets]

Nope, not me! I have one at home, and one on the Boat.

It gives maps, distances and all other stuff you might need...

 

[No Regrets]

Theres a later 2009 version too.

Thames doesn't change too much though...

 

[HONEYMOMMY]

Great thanks. Just bought one on ebay.

Great thanks. Just bought one on ebay.

Bother!

Chris Cove-Smith's The River Thames Guide is much better (IMO) than the dreaded Nicholsons. (Actually they compliment each other - more river detail in Cc-S). Available from amazon; and it's a later edition.

Imray - The River Thames Book

Hi Honey Mommy

I have a copy of the The River Thames Book by Chris Cove-Smith published by Imray in 1998 - ISBN 0 85288 399 4 - in good condition on my bookcase.

It maybe a little out of date, but still makes interesting reading.

Yours for the cost of the postage, send me a PM if you are interested.

 

[HONEYMOMMY]

Thanks for that. I have bought the river Thames book and historic inns along the Thames on amazon.

A little light reading.

Worth picking up a Thames Map from any MDL marina.
Ours has had lots of use tracing the Thames path on foot.

Well, I knew "No Regrets" would be too modest to mention it......
