On a long voyage or during the current lockdown.

Myself I'm continuously picking up anything interesting in garage sales used bookstores or from friends.

I know my suggestions are unworkable at this time. Its not foresight on my part, more of habit developed from working on the high seas in my youth.

Powells in Portland Oregon is a great source. Good luck.
If your interested in climbing or early mountaineering, I have enough for a online store. Too lazy for that though.
