Cruising Guides

[Yorksafloat]

Does anyone have recommendations on cruising guides (similar to Charlie's Charts or that style) for the run from San Diego down through the Panama Canal and then up to Virginia?* I know it's going to be several books but I'm looking for recommendations for titles that you have used and consider useful.
Thanks!

Inside the US on the ICW , Skipper Bob , and a set of Gov charts will work fine.

The standard cruising guides will only be needed if you have no anchor and need to locate every dock and food grease pit , and hot tub .
