Welcome to   WARSASH NAUTICAL BOOKS & MAINMAST BOOKS
  INTERNATIONAL MARITIME AND NAUTICAL BOOKSELLER
  About Us

We are one of the UK's leading specialist maritime book suppliers specialising in books for the professional mariner, students, shipping lines, yachtsmen and women, boat owners, and those interested in maritime history and modern shipping. The merger with Mainmast Books in 2005 added to our listings a huge range of books on ships and shipping history, liners, passengerships, cruise ships, ferries and coastal shipping, famous ships, maritime history, naval history and related topics.

For those looking for rare or out of print books, we have a large selection of secondhand nautical books, including some interesting first editions. If we do not have a title, we can often find it for you.

We now supply books world-wide by mail order as well as to personal customers at the bookshop. We offer our customers expert advice and a personal and friendly service. We promise that during business hours our telephone will always be answered by a human being, not a machine!

Trade Orders: We are worldwide distributors to the book trade (ex USA) of books published by Carmania Press and we also distribute Peter Newall's titles, Union-Castle Line: A Fleet History; and Cape Town Shipping: Ships at Cape Town from 1862-2000 on behalf of Black Dog Press.
