Average Customer Rating:

Valuable reference, could use more contextual quotes	Customer Rating:
Second Edition. A valuable companion for O'Brian's books that would be even better if included more contextual quotes or explanations of how O'Brian used some of the terms in the books. Pair this with Harbors and High Seas, 3rd Edition : An Atlas and Geographical Guide to the Complete Aubrey-Maturin Novels of Patrick O'Brian, Third Edition on your reference shelf if you are a real fan.

An Excellent Companion Volume For The Series

Customer Rating:

Covering all of the arcane terms and characters from the age of Napoleonic Fighting Sail, this book makes an excellent companion for the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. From an "Able Seaman" to a "Younker", "a Sea Of Words" covers the terms needed to understand this lost age. A vital reference for any arm-chair Admiral. Unless you are an expert in the subject of square-rigged sailing ships, this book should be purchased along with the first book of the series "Master and Commander" and remain at one's side. It will serve the reader in good stead throughout the entire series.

A Sea of Words	Customer Rating:
An excellent book, I found all the words I could not find in other nautical terms compilations, well described too!

A Sea of Words, Third Edition: A Lexicon and Compa... is	Customer Rating:
Sea of Words, Third Edition is the essential companion to the completed set of Aubrey-Maturin sea tales by Patrick O'Brian. You can't find these words in other dictionaries.

A MUST HAVE COMPANION TO O'BRIEN & LAMBDIN'S BOOKS	Customer Rating:
Without a good sea jargon dictionary the reader will loose the essence of rolling along with any sailing author. I keep at hand when roving with Lewrie and Aubrey on the briny.
