My lovely, and sadly late, man, loved good books - he was always happy to find a good boaty book, and was saving these for his retirement; regrettably he never got to read most of these...

Half the sale price on these will go to the RNLI, who need support, or you may drown...


Prices do not include postage, at least £5 to the UK, much more overseas, these are heavy.
Lots more to come!
