Well, I'm still not reading anything, at least not like I did five years ago.
On the other hand I got another new reference in the mail today. Jutland: An Analysis of the Fighting, by John Campbell (author of Naval Weapons of World War Two and a whole lot of great articles for Warship). It's a detailed look at the battle itself, showing all ship movements, ammunition expenditures and a precise study of where each shell landed and what damage was done. Many people prefer books that talk about Beatty and Jellicoe and Scheer. This one suits me fine.
I have a copy in paperback, but it fell apart about the third time I read it.
