I didn't see any bargains in that list.

Damn your eyes! But Amazon had a better price on the John Leather book I wanted, so I squandered my money there instead. Can I tell the wife it is all your fault?

Just not enough Marine Flea markets hereabouts to build up a decent collection by buying in person...

The second list has at least one book that is only available at $100+.

While searching for more info on Leather's "Sail and Oar", I found this site that seems to compare prices from various resellers -- too bad I'd already bought it for $7 more on Amazon.

Thorne,

Do you have a bead on the marine flea markets for the Bay Area? If so, where and when are they?

The fleas seem to always be on the same weekend as major TSCA events -- I've had to launch late at a couple of the latter. There is a Spring and Fall one at a yacht club in Alameda (name escapes me now), one at the Berkeley YC in the summer, and one at Sausalito in the summer.
