To obtain copies of documents I have produced, via "Lulu.com", using material contained in the many books featured in the sections below,
________________________________________________________
Section 1 :- Books containing a similar theme to the "Navyphotos" website. ( Collections of Photographs, ship types, etc.)
Over the years that
my site has been active I have often been asked why I do not include summaries
of the various ships activities.
The main reason why I do not do so is down to my having
insufficient knowledge of the subject to do it justice.
Therefore I would prefer to
leave the task to those who have much greater knowledge than I, and, judging by
the quality of the various books available,
a few of which I have showcased below, much
greater resources.
I recommend all of the books shown, and I feel that you will
obtain as much enjoyment and information from them as I have.
Most of them also
include excellent "Potted Histories" ( to quote Mr. Mike Critchley,
many of whose books I feature here ).

Section 2 :- Books dealing with specific ships, or types of vessel.
I would like to apologize
to my sites visitors at this point as it was my original intention for these two following sections
to be complete, and separate, as their section headings suggest.
However, as this
part of my site has developed, I have found that there often is a quite
"blurred" demarcation between them.
I have done my best to keep to the
separations as originally intended, but the more books I feature the more
difficult it seems to become.
I hope this does not detract from your
enjoyment.

Section
3 :- The
Various accounts of the History and Development of the Royal Navy.
Also Fleets, Ship types, Fleet Air Arm, Biographies and Auto-biographies.
This section, as explained above, was originally intended to be a separate, stand alone one.
Its purpose has become somewhat "blurred" over the passing years and should now really be viewed as
an extension of section 2.

There are many other excellent books of this nature that I will add to these sections as they become known to me.
