I bought this edition of the NC Coastal Charts combined with the Cruising Guide 6th edition (combined offer). I had to return the chartbook because it was compatible only with the NC Cruising Guide 5th edition. In order to use this chartbook with the 6th edition of the Cruising Guide, you need an annotated correction/changes list. The chartbook available at Claiborne's site has that list in its chartbook, but the one I ordered from Amazon did not.

3.0 out of 5 stars Have to buy the Cruising Guide Book for this to really work, March 14, 2007

The charts do not flow well from page to page and can be hard to read. They do give some detail that is important to know but you really must need both books to make it work effectively. Don't buy it alone.
