Review: Great book - Very detailed
Review: Excellent - While this book - often described as a "classic" - is not an easy book, it is also a wonderful book for anyone who is interested in wooden boats and building or repairing wooden boats. i liked this book for two major reasons. The first is easy to understand - it is one of the great books written by one of the great builders. The second reason is more bizarre. I love the style of a past generation. The writing style, the structure of the written page is a thing of beauty. This also means that a new generation brought up on gr8 txt will find this too complicated to understand. I would heartiy recommend that such a person do buy this book - not only will you have the advice on repairing or creating your wooden boat, but your language skills will have been developed further.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ an all time classic
*by N***S on January 30, 2013*

utterly superb book. Have just started to read it a second time. No this is not about the new lightweight stitch and glue wonder designs, but boats still need to stay together. Goes into detail about framing, joints, engines hatches, ventilators, winches and more and more and more. Utterly packed with detail, unbelieveable detail. This is the book that tells you how to do things. In 200 years people will still read this book, that is how good it is. Cannot recommend it highly enough
