- Joseph W. Crosley, The Book of Navy Songs. Just what the title says. I put this under Crosley's name because the copyright is in his name and the United States Naval Institute; Crosley did the original 1926 arrangements. The title page states the book is collected and edited by The Trident Society of the United States Naval Academy. This is the 1955 revised edition.

INCOMING

Where do you get all of these? Do you buy them online? Do you have some fabulous bookstore? How big is your TBR pile.
ReplyDeleteI have almost stopped buying books online, Patti. Most of my stash now comes from second-hand and thrift stores. The proximity of a Naval Air Base helps keep them supplied with some fairly interesting books. There is one decent used book store in my area but its emphasis does not always match my needs. The only decent new bookstores are two Barnes & Nobles, each an hour and a half away in opposite directions, and there is no decent newstand nearby. (**sigh**) On the plus side, I'm living in a beautiful part of the country about a mile from the Chesapeake Bay.
ReplyDeleteMy TBR pile is, as you would expect, fairly large and is augmented by Interlibrary loans and e-Books (which I have stopped listing in my Monday INCOMING posts.)
Current plans are to live to be 1,892 years old in order to make a dent on Mount TBR.
Hank Stine was the only editor Starblaze ever had. Not bad packaging, and undercapitalization, much like Baronet before it.
ReplyDeleteThe one that leaps out at me otherwise is the Fast. Some of my black beasts here, who more slash at me.
I went back to see your answer from last week's question. We have used bookstores but none of this quality. And I will join you in your plan to live to 1892. Sounds like a good round number.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the whole longevity thing, Patti. Now all we have to do is convince Kitty and Phil they won't get too bored accompanying us.
