About meFather, book collector, sailor, sometime boat-builder, woodworker, computer user, cook, bad guitarist, whiskey drinker (that's bourbon to you and me).

The picture is entitled "Patrol boats off Sidon" from "The Last Crusade" by Donald Maxwell.

About my libraryA few thousand books focused primarily on small boat sailing/cruising, boat-building, and naval history. If you've ever come across Toy's "Adventurer's Afloat" you'll know what I collect.

I tend to focus on a range of individuals not always (though often) writing in a maritime context: E. Keble Chatterton, Frank Cowper, E.F. Knight, Donald Maxwell, Gordon S. Maxwell, Charles Pears, and Arthur Watts to name a few. In addition to writing their own books, these men were often talented, prolific artist/illustrators whose works graced the pages of many a book and magazine. The common thread is that they were all sailors of a corinthian nature in the years between about 1880 and 1914.

I will continue to add books to this list - I've added all of the ISBN-enabled books in my local BookCollector database - but it'll be a slow process given the manual nature of things.

FYI
I have uploaded a cover for Plumer, the Soldier's General: A Biography of Field-Marshal Viscount Plumer of Messines by Geoffrey Powell. This is from the original 1990 Leo Cooper edition.
