A list

• By American, British, Canadian, local and other authors. Most are self-published or privately published.
• This list focuses mostly on books available in Bermuda, from local bookshops. 
• To have a book listed here, the bookstore or author should contact this author directly. 
• There are no discount book shops (stores) in Bermuda as there are in USA, Canada, UK, etc. Otherwise, go directly to the author if still living, or any bookstore, NOT this author nor website as neither are in the book-selling business. 
• Older books and others now out of print may be available elsewhere. Prices for older books published overseas - for example, by Anthony Trollope - can be found from their societies. 
• Not a bibliography but a basic - maximum 3 lines of text unless of outstanding 100% local interest - for the majority of visitors and professional newcomers from overseas.
• When prices are shown, they are in Bermuda dollars and were at publication date only. 
• Those without 'Bermuda' in their title may nevertheless have some unique articles on Bermuda. Some are rare in Bermuda, much sought by local collectors and expensive. Be aware that Bermuda has changed so much in so many ways that most travel books of 2003 or earlier may be significantly out of date.

Last of the Flying Clippers. The Boeing 314 Story. M. D. Klass. 2006. With amenities modeled on those of the great luxury liners of the period, the 12 Boeing-314 Clippers operated by Pan Am and British Overseas Airlines Corporation remain the most luxurious aircraft ever to take to the skies. The sumptuous flying boats, which used to fly through Bermuda in the 1930s and '40s, are highlighted here. The book includes sections on the aircraft's extensive use of the Darrell's Island airport in Bermuda. They were the largest aircraft of their type ever built, with a maximum of 74 passengers and 10 crew. They used island airports as intermediate stepping stones for ocean-spanning flights across the Atlantic and Pacific. The aircraft were commissioned from Boeing by Pan Am founder Juan Trippe – also the developer of Bermuda's Castle Harbour Hotel – specifically for trans-oceanic flights. PanAm operated nine of the aircraft while three were purchased by Imperial Airways, forerunner of today's British Airways and also flew through Bermuda en route to New York and other destinations. The aircraft were built between 1938 and 1941. 84,000 pounds, four-engined, they were 106 feet long, had a wing span of 152 feet and had a top speed of 199 miles per hour. After World War Two, seaplanes became obsolete because new, long-range aircraft such as the Lockheed Constellation could cross the Atlantic and Pacific non-stop
