My newest acquirement.

3 € + 3 € shipping from the UK.

They want 50 € here in Germany for the "out of stock" German version.

It looks like a great purchase! I wouldn't mind a copy for my collection. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Sven that's a great book I picked up quite cheaply as well recently. The diagrams and cut aways make things very easy to understand not just for beginners!

It seems to be 'out of print' but second-hand copies seem to be readily available.

After the first run over the pages - I love it, too. :clap:



...and I found out, that my favourite starting position on a 1st rate would be an enseigne de vaisseau or lieutenant de vaisseau.



(I know the carrer is steeper with an early own command on a frigate or a corvette)

Ah, thanks for that. I also grabbed a used copy from the UK. Very affordable.

I bought that book about 15 years or so ago. Learned a lot. Wish I could find it or remember who I loaned it to.:hmmm:
