Is any of these options correct?
'Books on board' or 'Books aboard'? I've just seen a Spanish article titled 'Libros a bordo' and I need to translate it into English. It refers to a ship that have some books on it.

Thanks!

Answer

Okay, thanks! The meaning is not "board books", it refers to the books in the ship's library, as June said.

Answer

Either works, but probably "books on board" is more current English  :) Unless the meaning in Spanish is "board books " - books with hard, card pages for tiny children

Answer

I imagine it means books in the ships library, but it could mean literally on board, so in the shop, passenger/crew luggage, etc.
