Introduction

We specialise in Nautical Books particularly books on boat building and design.
This is a wide field which stretches from design theory, construction, maintenance and repair, to maritime history where it concerns boat type development to suit specific requirements.
We are the UK agents for Boat Design Quarterly a regular publication devoted to the analysis of small craft designs from designers all around the world.
We have a large stock of secondhand titles, and probably the best collection of WoodenBoat Magazine back issues outside the USA.
