5.		Fighting Ships 1750-1850 from Quercus Publishing Plc Price: £18.09 Customer Review: This is a book of pictures of naval ships from 1750 to 1850.

This book weighs a freaking... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Fighting Ships 1850-1950 from Quercus Publishing Plc Price: £15.00 Customer Review: This massive tome is a visual delight. The huge format brings to life the artwork and I cannot wait to get my hands on the first volume. The cover price is £50 and even at that I would have been sorely tempted to buy.

8.		Patrick O'Brian's Navy: The Illustrated Companion to Jack Aubrey's World from Running Press Price: £13.99 Customer Review: This book is good and the illustrations and photos are great but it really seems as if the book was written as a generic guide to the Royal navy and then they added on the Jack Aubrey stuff later on.

9.		The Royal Navy Handbook: Ministry of Defence from Conway Maritime Press Ltd Price: £9.74 Customer Review: I gave this book a 5* but 9/10 is probably more accurate. It is a very good guide to the current/immediate future RN fleet. It is ideal for someone gearing up for AIB, however it is not 100% comprehensive due to it being 4/5 years old. It does mention the CVF/Astutes but only mentions some of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Royal Navy Officer's Pocket-book, 1944 from Conway Maritime Press Ltd Price: £5.49 Customer Review: As an ex-Naval Officer, now consultant in leadership, I couldn't pass this book by.
