How this list is organized
3 categories Beginner intermediate expert.
each category is subdivided into books we recommend most, and recommend
least.
Books are then listed alphabetically
I did NOT list coffee table books with lots of pictures, Tall ships
books, Cruising guides, or government publications. I only listed a few
books on Navigation. A lot of books are out of print. I deleted them from
this list.
