I’ve been thinking about writing a book about seamanshp. I’m not planning on writing one and never will but have been thinking about how such a book would be laid out.
I was thinking about combining actual sea stories with the theory behind it. Principle and Practice.
Golden Stripes is the book I’ve been thinking about.
Golden Stripes is laid out using a ship as an analogy and with a true personal story from the authors experience or well known incidents, The tanker Braer, the Exxon Valdez and other incidents less well known.
I bought it for $1.73. After I got the book and started to read it I went back to the Amazon page to get the link it was between $2 and $3, don’t recall the exact amount. I see now it’s $10.46.
On Amazon now, the used copies are $21.21 and the new copy is $20.19. What kind of demand for this damn book has gCaptain generated, in order to raise the price by 666%? Not to mention why is the used copy more expensive? Something fishy here.
