Dear friends and lady
I am a little ashamed to present my meager library (4 books and 3 monographs).
We have a wise proverb that says: "Jealousy of writers/scholars breeds wisdom", so yes, friends, I envy you (in the positive sense)!!
So, if any of you will think about a slight reduction of his library and want to Pass on or forward/contribute any book/monograph I would love to get them. Maybe after that I can also attach a picture of a shelf or two

The older edition lacks some models that are in the latest edition.
By the way, amazon currently has a significant discount on this new book, if they still have some left in stock. I noticed a "strange" pattern that when I publish a book, it immediately disappears from sale for 2-3 months))))
Very good book
if somebody would like to have a look inside, please take a look at the book review

Just read the part about hoisten a boat. There is so much to learn. And so many do it wrong on their model. Know I go read the part about stunning sails, more then 15 pages of info about this subject. More then you can find in other books and the internet together. Yes this is a must read book. @Ab Hoving was right about this one.
Super as usual

When you plan to scratch build a Dutch ship there is one book that is a must-have
with plans
The writer @Ab Hoving in the younger years
There is an English version of this book. But I'm Dutch and like this one.
