“The Mariner’s Book of Days 2011” ($14.95, Sheridan House, Inc., 2010) by Peter H. Spectre is celebrating its 20th anniversary of bringing boaters their week-by-week dose of nautical fact, fiction and folklore.
The softcover, spiral-bound 2011 edition features a week of days on the right-hand page and a collection of drawings, musings and facts evoking the rich traditions of the sea on the left-hand page.
Hailed as one of the best, most entertaining desk diary, each annual edition is completely different from the last, making each one a collector’s item long after the year is over.
Spectre is former editor of WoodenBoat magazine and the editor of Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors since 1999, and has written “A Mariner’s Miscellany” as well as all the previous editions of “Mariner’s Book of Days.” He lives and writes in Spruce Head, Maine.
