Hey Everyone,
I was looking through some books in my Dad's library this weekend and came across Hornblower's Navy by Stephen Pope (http://www.amazon.com/Hornblowers-Navy-Life-Sea-Nelson/dp/1566490308). I am sure some of you own it, have heard of it or paged through a copy. But, if you haven't and happen to come across it or find it for a reasonable price I'd suggest picking it up. It has a lot of cool reference information as well as nice little facts about life in the Royal Navy and more. I thought some of the illustrations, drawings, etc were quite awesome. Well, that's all I've got, I just thought I'd share my new find with the forum at large.

I'll add that while the contents of this book are good it covers the subject broadly. If you are looking for something really in depth this may not be a good choice for you, although I did really enjoy paging through it.

Hi Marc,

If you go to the Book Review folder and post a new review (http://sailsofglory.org/forumdisplay.php?34-Book-Reviews), a form will pop up for you to fill in. The info contained in that form would be most useful. If you desire to do that, I will delete these two threads. If not, I will keep this one and delete the other one.

If you do try the book review form and run into any problems, let me know.

Eric,
I have created a separate post in the book review section. Please delete the extraneous posts in the wardroom and reference library.
