What I do is sign in to Amazon through Subsim. I click categories, BOOK and type in submarine. You will find numberous books on the subject. Amazon is the only place I shop for books.

Seconded. And I almost always buy the used ones. I've never had a problem with any of my orders, and the books are always in great condition.

The thing with Amazon is you find at least 25-30 books on the subject were the local book store might have 2-3. So, if you use the book store you are missing out on other great books on uboats or submarines. When I found the books on Amazon and what was available I was estatic! I usually get the used books also. One used book I have (forget the title) is signed by the author. So, that was a nice little extra for my purchase.

Thanks guys for the tip on buying on Amazon. I've never done this, but will give it a try on future purchases.

I just finished "U-Boat War Patrol; diary of U-564". Awesome book! It has some great surface attack stories.

"Take Her Deep" By Gallatin, the Cmdr of the Halibut

All of the above books are good, so you have the pick of the litter.
