Editorial Reviews Library Journal This revised version is much more polished and better illustrated than the 2002 edition. Canoe trip guide and outdoorsman Gilpatrick provides detailed and straightforward instruction. Be warned: there is a back pocket with patterns that will never survive circulation. This volume is not for the casual hobbyist but for the devoted craftsperson. For readers who want to expend the time and money to build a beautifully crafted wood strip canoe rather than buy a fiberglass one, this book is strongly recommended.
