'Sea Struck' by Bill Bunting

[rbgarr]

I had the pleasure of hearing him speak about his latest book last night at a cozy library get-together. He's written numerous others (he signed my copy of 'Portrait of A Port"!) about ships, the sea, and workaday life in Maine and elsewhere. His captions for photographs he finds are marvels of research and descriptive power. What a font of knowledge and self-effacing humor. :D

Darn, I missed him again. I always hear about his talks a day or two after the fact. :(

Dave and Steven, Go find copies of "A Days Work", two volumes.

Good stuff.

[rbgarr]

Good stuff indeed. I borrowed them from the library quite a while ago. His books are always worth revisiting though.

I heard him speak last December at Fogler Library at UMaine. I bought the book for myself as a birthday present and it's slowly working it's way to the top of my reading pile!!

The story of how he got access to all of the diaries he used in "Sea Struck" is fascinating in itself.
