Product availability is good; excellent customer service; fair pricing and reasonable delivery time. Would recommend to others.

These shipwrecks are well portrayed.

It seems to me that far too many books about shipwrecks are cobbled together by people with know nothing about the subject itself. Not so in this case. Clearly Roger Marsters knows his subject and a quick glance at some of the historic pictures reproduced in this book reveals the amount of research undertaken before it was published. Altogether, an excellent account of the major shipwrecks which have occurred along Canada's eastern coast put together in a professional and expert way in which both ancient and modern are skilfully brought together. You would need to read the book to appreciate my final comment which is reserved for it's landscape format and soft cover - neither of which help the book sit easily either on the bookshelf or in one's hands for reading. There is nothing within the content which demands this format and the book itself would benefit greatly from portrait format and hard cover. Otherwise an excellent product. NM.
