The Works of A. M. Knight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Once I started reading I could not put the book down. It was very informative. I have the 10th edition. I would like to know just how many editions there are in all. I believe it is a collectors item, if so how would I go about finding out just what the value is?
Essential Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is in the pilothouse of every ship in the US Navy. 'Nuff said.I find it useful as a basic reference, for vocabulary, and for filling the gaps that Bowditch leaves.The chapters are well laid out, the information is well indexed, and topics proceed logically. The illustrations are clear and useful.
Excellent! Best single text book for Master's Exam.

Best overview of professional seamanship. This book goes leagues beyond novice publications such as "Chapmans" and "Annapolis". The book begins with simple principles and builds the basic vocabulary as it progresses. It's easy to understand with good photos and illustrations. Great study text for the masters exam. Electronics section obviously outdated.
