Although not model ship related, I think this video explains things pretty well:

oh yeah, amazon is a rats nest. I've often seen wild ranges when looking for niche books eg ship rigging; how about $15 to over $700 for a particular used book?  Vendors are free to ask whatever they like. Caveat emptor.

With Seawatch closed and no new ownership solidified it is a bit crazy with many of the books they offered for sale.     IF there are any copies left in their inventory you can get pricing by going on their website )https://www.seawatchbooks.com) which gives an email address to contact for more information on their stock of books.

Found this book, for $200 for both volumes via bookfinder.com.  Seller was Able Books a common vendor on bookfinder.

And yes they are the ones published by Seawatch. Find bookfinder.com very useful isn sourcing books as they list all sellers with prices

even those in Europe. Also will give listing of libraries, and marine museums,  that have a copy. Hope that helps.

I saw those too, Bob, but the description warns that they are missing both the CDs.

Would be a shame if those books are no longer published.  I've been using the TFFM extensively on my Pegasus build, and have a few others on the shelf.  Just glad I decided to buy the Sussex book a couple of months ago before things closed down.

HI everyone

 

I was just clearing out my cupboard and found that I have both volumes of the Naiad Frigate books in mint condition.  

 

I have placed a post in the trading forum if anyone is interested in offering to purchase them.

 

Thanks

In case you missed the news, SeaWatchBooks is open again under new ownership. You don't have to pay inflated prices for their books any more!

[SeaWatch Books]

We are back!

 

And we have both volumes of Naiad in stock for much less than $1500!
