I've never used the Naval & Military Press before, but I know somebody who thinks they are excellent. They are an online retailer, but with a full, proper address! (they are based in Uckfield in Sussex). Their address is
http://www.naval-military-press.comApart from
Jack Tar (well, I had to mention that), they have hundreds of books that many of you will want to buy, and their prices are extremely good value (at a glance, far cheaper than Amazon). They source their books from Gardners, which is one of the major book distributors. There are too many to mention, but I've just noticed
Industrial Archaeology of Docks & Harbours (£6.95, reduced from £17.99),
Cochrane the Dauntless (£5.95 reduced from £20) and
Jack Tar (£4.95 reduced from £10.99). I would also recommend
A History of Napoleonic and American Prisoners of War (reduced to £22.40) and its companion volume on
Arts and Crafts (reduced to £28).
They seem to charge a flat fee of £3.95 per order for postage, with an extra £1 per book for those outside the UK.
And until midday on Monday 18th January, they have an
extra 20 per cent off all their prices!!
