Some Nautical Fiction Isn't Available in the United States

The United Kingdom is certainly the cradle of nautical fiction. Authors from Captain Marryat to Patrick O'Brian have told the tale of the sea in many different ways, but often their fictional stories have some factual basis in the true, glorious history of the Royal Navy--in particular the Royal Navy in the Age of Nelson.

Too frequently, Americans are unable to conveniently enjoy some of the finest nautical fiction because it is published in England and it never makes it to the shelves of American bookstores.

Because of our affiliation with the British branch of Amazon.com (Amazon.co.uk) Americans can readily order books at this web site and have them shipped directly to their homes from Britain. Payment is no bother because with your credit card can pay Amazon.co.uk in Pounds Sterling and the charge appears in dollars on your statement. (If the book is published in the US, our site leads you to the American edition, since it's a little faster and cheaper to buy the domestic product.)

This bestsellers page shows the leading current nautical bestsellers in Britain that are not published or normally sold in the US.

Feel free to click on the book titles or pictures to read detailed information about these books and their authors. As in all parts of NauticalFiction.com, you can poke around just to gather information. You never have to buy anything!
