Great book and excellent service

I was pleased to find a copy of Practical Marine Electrical Knowledge from a bookstore here in the US as the book is published in the UK. As the title suggests, this book is aimed at the Marine Engineer and strikes a good balance between principles of operation, hardware, troubleshooting and safety. American Nautical Services provided excellent shipping service and the book arrived in mint condition in a couple of days. If you work at sea as a marine engineer, I highly recommend this book.

A good alternative

I usually use the Nautical Almanac published by the US GPO. However, I was unable to obtain one from them for 2022 and thus bought the version from HM NAO. They have the exact same content and format, which I am thankful for, no need to learn anything new. However, the binding on the Admiralty Almanac is much nicer than the usual GPO version.
