He's a student and needs to learn to save money when possiable.
I purchace many things off ebay and have been quite happy.

You can pick up Bowditch vol 1 & 2 around 65.00 dollars on ebay.

And at most stores I think you will find them around 125 for the set.

If you take your time and shop wisely you could pick up a nice
vintage leather bound ships set.

A sailor should have a bowditch for life and pass it on to his aires.
Mine has been in my family for 3 generations. It is one of my most
treasured items.

BG Alas, it's also out of date, information wise .... as is mine and
my American Merchant Seaman's Manual and Merchant Marine Officer's
Handbook, which are also great references.
Course, too, some of the info which is no longer incorporated in the
newer versions, can still be found in the older.....which frequently
comes in handy.

Sorry Joe, I guess I didn't include sufficient information in my post, it's available
online for FREE. He can save more money that way than purchasing it on Ebay, 'tho it
might be taking money out of Boobsy's hands!
