Recensioner i media

"...rekindles any flagging interest on the part of long term fans of sea literature and encourages the beginner or casual reader to explore more thoroughly that literary field. Possibly the most valuable part of this book is the long bibliographical essay on sources and their locations in libraries, archives, and museums throughout the world. Readers will find here all the information they need to follow up on a particular area of interest." -- Sea History
