Squee! I'm not alone!

I'm not sure I know the book you're trying to remember though. For me the book of choice was something called "Man [

], Ships, and the Sea" whose author I can't remember. But since it was from my school's library, it didn't have the cover jacket, so I've no idea what the cover was
In any case, happy reading!
