You might want to try these, all pretty good stuff, two being particularly suitable for an SH3 fan, there is of course the new Submarine Almanac too:

http://www.amazon.com/Type-VII-U-Boat-Anatomy-Ship/dp/1591148863/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196210838&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Hunted-Submarine-Encounters-Present/dp/1591143799/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196210873&sr=1-2

http://www.amazon.com/Type-U-Boats-Robert-C-Stern/dp/1860198554/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196210873&sr=1-7

If you go to amazon to buy any of these via the link on the front of this site, Subsim gets a cut of the price you pay too.

I have the books "Wolfpack" and "The U-boat Century"

I found both to be interesting reads
