[PSUBS-MAILIST] Must have books

["Sean T. Stevenson" <cast55@telus.net>]

The recent reference to Dave Gerr's propellor handbook prompted me to 
remind everyone of the excellent resources available to prospective sub 
designers.  I know that recommended books are listed on the PSUBS 
website, but I thought a reminder might be in order, given how often 
certain design topics arise on this board.  To start, I will suggest 
four invaluable references I have on my shelf:

Propellor Handbook

Propellers
