Ian_Grant Posted February 20, 2022 #3 Posted February 20, 2022 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. mtaylor and thibaultron 1 1
allanyed Posted February 20, 2022 #4 Posted February 20, 2022 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.

bridgman Posted February 21, 2022 #5 Posted February 21, 2022 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. Bridgman Bob mtaylor and thibaultron 2
uss frolick Posted February 21, 2022 Author #6 Posted February 21, 2022 I saw those too, Bob, but the description warns that they are missing both the CDs. thibaultron and mtaylor 2
Landlubber Mike Posted February 23, 2022 #7 Posted February 23, 2022 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. thibaultron, mtaylor and flying_dutchman2 3 Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.
