This Book is Primarily for the United Kingdom, NOT USA.......2006-01-11

Were there a book like this in the same cost range for US Mariners and for US GMDSS Operator/Maintainers, life would be good. Unfortunately, Lees' book is centered about GMDSS and associated systems for use in the British Isles. And yes, there is a difference--especially if one is studying to take FCC Elements 7 and 9--which makes this book a big disappointment. On the other hand, if you are a British Lincensee or are studying to become one--or if you are looking for the one useful reference to keep on your British licensed vessel operating in sea areas A1 and A2, then this is the book for you. All in all, the book is excellent; it's just not geared for US operators. Sadly, there is no indication of this in the book's title or preface. As an American operator/maintainer, the book will fall short (this is the reason why I gave it only a 3 star rating). On the other hand, if your home town happens to be a place like Glasgow or London . . . go for it! In your situation, the book will be money well spent.
