4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent research, bad copy editing ahead!,
By Queen Goddess of the West "Krissyliz" (Ogden, UT) - See all my reviews
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.

A Self Review,
By 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!
