LIBRARY LIST - 2009

PLEASE NOTE:-

Outward postage is paid by the DCA, with the exception that overseas borrowers pay the difference
between the actual cost and that which would have been payable if the same package had been sent to
an address in the UK. The Borrower pays the return postage.

All publications may be borrowed for a maximum of 2 months, but I reserve the right to reduce this
period should a particular item be in demand. Up to 2 books, or 10 bulletins, may be borrowed at any
one time.

DCA Bulletins and Contents List

Back numbers of DCA Bulletins can be borrowed from the Library, and a Bulletin Contents List -
updated after each new Bulletin is published - may be purchased from the Library at a cost of £5.00 plus
postage per copy; free if sent by e-mail. Updated pages are also available at £0.05 each plus postage -
again, free if sent by e-mail. A copy of the Contents List is in the Library, but it is not available for
loan; I am quite happy to answer queries on it.

Further notes:-

1) Some of the charts and pilots are fairly old and none have been corrected in recent years.

2) Reference three of the sets of Plans under Section E, I am advised that they are essentially complete;
if required, please ask me for details of the late Peter Bick’s comments on them.

3) The details on boats listed under Boat Types are mostly just single sheets - of the kind that get
picked up at Boat Shows; up-to-date copies are always welcome.
