I was thumbing thru an older PassageMaker (Nov/Dec 2013) and they had an article about books for a Trawler's library. Here's their list of books to include in a well stocked library:
- Crossing an Ocean Under Power (10th Aniv Edition) by Ken Williams
- The American Practical Navigator: Bowditch by Uncle Sam
- Radar for Mariners by David Burch
- A Storm Too Soon by Mike Tougias
- Longitude: The True story of a lone genius.... by Dava Sobel
- Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual by Nigel Calder
- The Complete Book of Anchoring and Mooring by Earl R. Hinz
- Advanced First Aid Afloat by Peter F. Eastman, M.D.
- Galley Guru: Effortless Gourmet Cooking Afloat by Lisa Hayden
- The Morrow Guide to Knots for Sailing, Fishing, Camping and Climbing by Bigon & Regazzoni
- Grab Bag: Your Ultimate Guide to Liferaft Survival by Frances and Michael Holzworth
- Margarita Cat: Sketches of the Cruising Life by Bruce Van Sant
- The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing by Scott and Wendy Bannerot
While I can't claim to have read all of the above, I would include:
- Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs by Calder
How would you revise their list?
