Just in case anyone else is interested, I have my older set, 3rd editions. Great shape, just my name in some of them. Since I’ve retired, they are just collecting dust now. The questions still prep you for the research and solving for answers in the exam room. Of course, you’ll have to know the rules [since the changes in 2014]. Asking $100.00 for all, + $25.00 shipping [obo] I also have many of the Cornell Press maritime books. All are in EXCELLENT shape. Ask for what titles I have [ship handling/rules/tugs, etc]. I’m gonna keep my MSM and Officer’s Handbook for posterity though. ---
