Please note: original design of this website was based on the display size of the smaller vacuum tube computer monitors (screens). Current screens are flat, and at least 21-inch (angle). Changes may gradually be made to reflect the greater screen width, which may then be awkward when viewed with smaller screens - apologies for that. Note also that I have recently added a few more categories, for ease of browsing and to reduce download times. I have also expanded the time period, considering more recent publications if they warrant consideration as exceptional books. This is particularly applicable to the History of Diving category. |
| Classic dive book?
Who is to pass such judgement? Only the greater public can do so, and typical of the attitudes of today, the classic book will, unfortunately, be determined by its monetary value. If you are prepared to pay big money, then it must be classic, right? I think not, but who am I to judge. I would hope that a 'classic' book, on any theme, would be one with merit in its prose, its interest, its facts, its encouragement. It may also be old, but that should not be a sole criteria, even though I have used age in the determination of some of the books chosen to be included. No doubt, many of you may judge otherwise. And who am I?
