More Greek Shipping Books
Nicholas thanks for posting another two of my favourite books. The Peter Plowman publication is superb and I have several copies of the Frewin Poffley Island Hopping guides from the 90's which again were an invaluable guide to all the ferry services in and around Greece including the very smallest vessels, which made them extremely interesting to read.
I am adding another two of my favourites, the well known Chandris Liners by Bill Miller which although not as enjoyable to read as its later rival is still a very good reference book and the second is a one off publication which was given to me as a gift from a friend in Piraeus. You might be familiar with it already and although it has lots of typographical and photographic errors it contains some beautifully reproduced postcrads of our favourite Greek ships. All the best Henry

G.8. Anonymous: Greek Passenger Shipping
G.8. A. Tzamtzis, Greek Passenger Shipping: The Chronicle 1921-2001, Miletos, Athens, 2001
This is a book discussed already by Henry Casciaro. Here is the Greek version. A very nice book with lots of information and good pictures. I must admit though, the book is characterized by paucity! Everything is done in short measure.
First, here is the cover of the Greek edition!
