Went to an electrical seminar from Nigel Calder this weekend. He bought his own book online for $20 because it is way cheaper than he can get it from the publisher. He tried to buy 20, but they wouldn't let him. This is a phenomenal deal. If you don't have a copy, get it now before they fix this glitch in the online shopping world.

I bought one. Was skeptical because of the price, but it's the real deal hard cover book.

I grabbed one for $20. This this a great book for the full price. Insane steal for $20. Picked up the Marine Diesel Engines 5 minutes after thumbing through the Mechanical and Electrical manual. it too is a great book!

Yeah, and it weighs a ton. Tough decesion when it come to storage onboard.. the book, or another two bottles of single malt!

It's $20 on Amazon for Kindle as well and fits on my phone. I love it!

I've remarked here once or twice before that "If I ONLY had TWO books I could take on a voyage" they would be ===

Boatowners Manual for Mechanical & Electrical Systems

and

Cruisers Handbook

I was actually able to put this to the test and these were the only two "boat stuff" books we brought on our trip in 2016 from SF to BC.

I used them both during the trip.

The weight was worth it, but I was a dummy. I shoulda put them on the starboard side 'cuz of the port list.

I think the single malt makes more sense.

Noah -
IF you HAVE to choose, single malt fixes nearly everything including waiting for a tow 'cause you you didn't bring Boatowners Manual for Mechanical & Electrical Systems off the boat ;). That been said, my new books will always go along with my beverage of choice.
