Many publications that began from "trunks or Lazarette's" include, most of Nigel Calder's, Lynn and Larry Pardey, Earl Heinz, Hal Roth, the original Skipper Bob, Mark Doyle, John Kettlewell, and let's not forget that Waterway Guide was originated and published by active cruisers. There are many, many, many more examples. These are all well known and well respected authors in the marine industry who many of us consider true experts and can educate us all. Beware of those that buy a boat, spend a little time running up and down the river or never leave the dock and proclaim themselves experts. In today's electronic age it has become more and more difficult to weed those types out and I believe that is why there is a certain amount of mistrust from online information. But correct me if I am wrong, the original poster ask about books on board and not whether they should use online resources or buy books. Unfortunately there is always someone that wants to move the conversation in another direction.
