Mark, just glad to know someone else on the list has natural history interests.  I carry my field guides in a canvas bag, ready to hand.  The bird guide, I put in the handy holder on the driver's door.  I used to just put it on the floor between the driver's and passenger's seat, but I've put a console in there.  Binoculars, field guides, other paraphernalia can get to be cumbersome in these vehicles.  You're right, a shelf like in a ward room or a captain's library would be nice.  But we're so cramped for space .................. .  I'll put some thought to this.  DMc
