[CapnK]

Good idea, Zen, Grog. I've a tome or two that I'd be willing to swap out. I'll try and think of a way to enable the process...

[Bill NH]

Any new ideas on how to facilitate book swaps on the board here?

I've got a few nautical titles I'd like to swap or sell real cheap, with more to follow as I clean out the bookshelves...

Ravenscrag, by Thomas E. Appleton
Build the New Instant Boats, by Harold "Dynamite" Payson

[Edit: titles added 2/29/08]


Zen, any of these you'd swap for the Brendan Voyage?

[Auspicious]

I'd like to borrow or swap for a copy of "My Life with Three Women" by Alan Richards. It's supposed to be real schlock, but entertaining none the less. If someone has a copy to lend we can work out shipping, or if you want to swap for it I'll send a list of what I would part with.

It's hard to let go of books. <grin>

[Bill NH]

Several new titles added to list above...

Will either swap or sell real cheap...

Anyone have any books they're interested in trading?

[Shipscarver]

Anyone interested introductory stock market texts?

Market Wizards - Schwager
Winning on Wall Street - Zweig
Sticky Stock Charts - Holt Books
How To Make Money in Stocks - O'Neil
The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom - Orman

Great idea Zen,

  I gotta tell you, DO NOT TRY to sell books using Amazon.

I just finished shipping my last order.  I have sold 28 books (mostly hard cover) in the last couple weeks.

  I have paid ~ $45 in US shipping, $28 in international shipping.  Amazon kept about $60 in comissions and I have a grand total of $45 bucks to show for my efforts....   :P

Bill,
I would like to know if you still have the following books; Boating for less by Steve Henkel and Great Sea Rescues by Edward Snow? I would also like to know howmuch you want for them?

Craig you should have given us a chance to purchase the books you sold through Amazon. You would have saved some/made more. Dan

Yes, I still have them.  I'll PM you when I get home tonight.  Sorry for the slow reply, just saw your post today...  somehow missed it these past weeks.

Yes I know this is an old thread- but a goodie ;D
I am in great need of charts and perhaps one guide of the Puget Sound and the PNW. If anyone is in the Seattle area, I can pick them up and save on postage.  PM me.
Thanks, Mark (newt)

How about a DVD mart? Does anyone have a dvd round the world and cape horn sailing dvd, shorthanded not big/tall ships please.

In exchange I have a Swedish couple leaving south Sweden and sailing around the world beautiful footage (?!) approx. 2 hours long. in a Allegro 27, they had no sailing experience.

I have no problem by sending this by snail mail if someone interested?!

A DVD exchange is a pretty good idea!  Grog for suggesting it.

On the topic of RTW and Cape Horn shorthanded...have you watched

With Jean du Sud Around the World

This is the film Yves Gelinas made while solo circumnavigating on his Alberg 30.  It's a darn good film, and you can purchase the download for about 10 USD (download, no DVD).

If you have not seen this one, it is WELL worth the watch.  Yves is an incredible seaman, and by all accounts of those who have met him (several on the A30 mailing list have met him), he's a heck of a nice guy.

Yes cap...I have Jean du sud on DVD. also on VHS... one of my favorit. More tips?

Deep Water is a pretty good film...mostly about Donald Crowhurst, but has some really good interview footage with Robin Knox-Johnston and some others.

[ntica]

Thanks. will check it out. I've done some reading about this earlier...One of my favorits Bernard Moitessier, was competing in this tragic crowhurst storie. have 2 great books by him, the long way and the logical routes.

for now...
