Riassunto

The rebirth of the classics, here are 18 of Nautical Quaterly's best sail-related articles spanning all 12 years of the publication and preserving NQ's signature design and trim. Preceding the selection is a short history of NQ by nautical author Anthony Dalton, as well as a foreword by Jim Gilbert, publisher of Showboat magazine. This makes for a wonderful gift book with a strong degree of instant recognition and credibility, and a strong appeal, even among those unfamiliar with the late, great Nautical Quarterly.Editor Reese Palley is the author of four books about sailing; most recently Call of the Ancient Mariner (IM, 2003).
