All of them will be + my fictional stuff such as C. Cussler, Nelson DeMille, Wilbur Smith, Jack Higgins etc for swapping while cruising....

As i shall soon be livaboard singlehanding with four spare berths, one berth is being fitted out as the library, i will give a lot of things up, but not my books....

It's an electronic device that allows you to have books, and yet, not have books, at the same time

Hi Alain,

I got the STCW from Boat Books Australia and the IAMSAR from work.
The IAMSAR has been superseded by the 2010 edition but i also have a copy of the changes...


Boat Books Australia

Distributors of the IMO stuff can be found at...
IMO | Home

Cheers

Thanks John
On the IMO website, I found a French distributor that stocks the IMO books. They are less expensive that I thought.
