Canal books on Kindle?

[magpie patrick]

I have many canal books, in particular history ones, and doubtless could harbour many more. However I'm in hospital (again) and floor to ceiling book cases aren't going to happen - Kindle is king.

 

So far I've found British Canals on Kindle - Joseph Boughey's latest reworking of the Charles Hadfield classic - does anyone know of any others? Historically interesting rather than necessarily pure canal history.

 

Thank you all!

Not quite what you asked for, but I do have a few Collins map books on my Kindle (I use a Samsung galaxy as a reader) and find them very easy to use when planning cruises. We keep the paper copies for the rear hatch!

There are loads Patrick just type canal into the kindle store.

Also have a look at Project Gutenberg.  Loads of good stuff on there including Agricola's De Re Metallica (translated), Newton's Principia and a myriad of not so heavy stuff.

Thanks Guys, added a couple including Through the French Canals, I can only cruise vicariously at the moment so that is what I will do!

They are debating keeping me in to save on the hassle of another emergency call out! Last week my oxygen levels plummeted, my GP came round, took one look and called an ambulance. Advantage when the GP does it is they booked me into respiratory directly, so although I went through A&E there was no triage, and the ambulance service jumped to it

Ahh, yes indeed. There does come a point when you bypass the formalities. Last time I was blue lighted in we bypassed several hospitals and a and e etc and I was taken straight back to the transplant ward at Cardiff where a team was waiting to see me including surgeon it makes complete sense.

Not books as such, but I have recently re-created my website, now called https://www.canalhistory.co.uk, which should have quite a bit of reading for you. I should be adding material regularly.
