EastCoastSail started this thread a while ago and it was great. I bought a number of the recommendations (Storm and Silence was one that I would never have known about).

I just finished Godforsaken Sea in paperback and Das Boot on Audible both of which I would recommend.
I'm sure ebay sellers pay less postage than you or I do so you might do as well on there.

Currently reading "The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow""

Very funny and would be of particular interest to those into dinghy cruising.

The other thread is too old to resurrect so here we go again.

Pete Goss "Close to the Wind" is still an all time favourite!
