Summary: "A picture is worth a thousand words..."
Comment: A very useful book, but the author insists on taking two paragraphs to describe a technique or motion that could be conveyed in a single picture or diagram. The few pictures that are in the book are very indistinct. It's no mystery why authors do this. It's much easier and cheaper to type an extra dozen sentences than to have an artist develop an appropriate graphic. Too bad, though, as the section on paddling would have benefited from some simple illustrations. As it is, there are perhaps four or five actual diagrams and they really don't contribute much to the book.

Summary: GREAT book for beginners
Comment: Well, I know you can't perform surgery after only reading a how-to book, but Mr. Stuhaug comes pretty close to accomplishing what would seem to be an impractical feat of introducing kayaking without the kayak or the water. His descriptions are super and the way in which he delivers 'situational' scenarios make it easy for the uninitiated to visualize in common terms what transpires. I had the opportunity to read his book prior to my first 'live' kayak encounter (which was a mere 2 days ago!), and it proved to be immensely helpful.

Summary: Great Beginners Guide!
Comment: I found this book interesting, entertaining, and informative. The author is witty and his descriptions are excellent.
