Shipwreck books

Can you buy many of the books you guys commonly discuss in book stores like Barnes and Nobels or Borders or do u need to do a little more searching to find them. I am particularily looking for Bob Marx's books or anything good about the bahamas.

picklemonkey37, Try Amazon.com. I think you'll have better luck there instead of Barnes & Noble.

Please don't be afraid to buy from TreasureNet advertisers - Kellyco, for example, has a nice selection of shipwreck books. Fair prices and great service, too!

Good luck to all,

Hilarious.

Anyway, Amazon.com is pretty good. I've gotten a lot of shipwreck books through there over the years.

Bob Marx writes some pretty good ones.

You can also check out the books by Nigel Pickford. He does the "atlas of shipwreck and treasure" books. Unfortunately, however, a good portion of the information in his atlas is false. It was a bit disheartening after hours upon hours of research. But they still make an interesting read.
