I thanks ye for signin' up and markin' your spot to be on me Pirate crew. Since we have a vast, big ship, we ain't got 'nough crew to man her across the seven seas and me thinks that the seas be rough this time o' year. We needs many more hands to sail and not much time 'fore we launch.

I be's invitin' you to looks at the new PRE-CONTEST over in ye's Pirate Book Thread. Its be open until November 2, so ye wants to look soon.

Yer Captain

Heigh ho, me hearty! I see you have a copy of “A Pirate of Exquisite Mind” in your library. The Highly-Rated Book Group is boarding the Pirate Ship of William Dampier and heading off into the high seas for a rollicking Buccaneering Adventure in the wild blue yonder. We are splicing the main brace and trimming the sails to set off with the tide on 3rd November 2008. So don’t be a landlubber, come and swash some buckles by climbing on board at:

You have a terrific collection of military, naval and airpower titles. I've made a conscious decision not to purchase too many military related titles for my library, though I always have a weak spot for books covering the Age of Sail. But, not enough room and not enough money. You might want to check out Max Hasting's new book "Retribution" on the last year of the Pacific War. Very well written. Best Regards, Alan
