4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent research, bad copy editing ahead!, July 31, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Devil and the Deep: A Guide to Nautical Myths and Superstitions (Paperback)
I enthusiastically recommend this very well-researched book because of its interesting folklore. However, I couldn't give it that fifth star because the punctuation is distracting. The author needs to research the proper use of the hyphen. Other than that caveat, it's an excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Self Review, April 9, 2001

Chris Hillier (Dunedin, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Devil and the Deep: A Guide to Nautical Myths and Superstitions (Paperback)
Well, it's a little weird writing this review myself, but you out there have had 4 years to do it and have now missed the chance to be the first! Having had the past few years to reflect on the book, I am still pretty happy with it as a first effort. Despite the tongue in cheek approach there really is a bit to be learned from my book - even if it's just to marvel at how superstitious the old time sailors were. My aim is to do another book sometime soon and I hope readers will enjoy the second as much as they seemed to have enjoyed the first!
