I don't know if you remember but I was unable to attend last years SS Meet because it clashed with my 25th wedding anniversary...anyhow, whilst at the Lake District I stumbled upon one of those tourist type bookstores that are full of guides on hill walking and new books that have wained in their popularity in the high street stores etc.
I'm always on the lookout for a military title to read when away so in I went and much too my amazement not only did they have a military section but also a submarine/U-boat sub section.
I picked the above title up for £7.99
The one below for £5.99
