| Over
the past year, three different newsletter readers
have written asking how the ships library on Taleisin
in 2007, differs from that we listed it in Seraffyn's
Mediterranean Adventures written almost 25 years
ago.
Surprisingly, as I reviewed that list I found
it has changed only slightly. Though we have much
more space we reserve it to carry extra books
we hope to read on passage then use for trading.
We rarely hold on to any except those listed below.

Ocean Passages for the World, British admiralty
249 tables, all three volumes including stars

American Practical Navigator, Nathanial Bowditch

to date available)
