I have received the following from Fisher Nautical and thought it may of interest to some. I have NO connection with Fisher Nautical other than having bought from them in the past. My personal view is they are a little over priced but books by F.B. Cooke are getting very scarce now.
I hope this is not braking forum advertising rules as they are priced and is of interest to some of you.
