One of our most popular guides, the Nautical Fiction Index, has been updated and enhanced with hundreds of new and revised author entries along with over 3000 book cover images. The Index is an alphabetical list, by author, of novels and other stories connected to the sea. Please let the library know of any additions to the list (as well as improved cover images) by email. Take a look some time - there are unusual and amazing titles in the list!
