International Marine's Weather Prediction Simplified
By: Michael William Carr
ISBN: 0-07-012031-5
It is about Forecasting for mariners but covers Tropical Topics thoroughly along with reading and understanding charts, sat, deciphering weather briefs, and keys on developments of tropical and other marine weather systems. It has taught me quite a lot about the Tropics and other weather systems.

Bob Sheets was a former director of the NHC and a good forecaster. Check that book out IMHO.

That's an excellent book. Bob was sitting right next to our boot at the last National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans. I bought a copy from him for $10 and he autographed it.
