Summary: Best canoe builders guide yet!
Comment: I have read a LOT of books which attempt to show you how to go about building your own wood-strip canoe and this one is,quite simply, THE BEST. David Hazen writes in a style that is easy to understand and at a level that even the most rank amateur can follow. He leaves nothing out ( He even includes full-sized plans) and if you do have questions he is accessable and very willing to talk or write to you. WARNING: Read this book and you will want to run out to your garage and start building the next day!

Summary: Good book, but not motivational.
Comment: I am happy that I bought this book because it is clear in it's instructions for building a strip canoe, but unfortunately it is not also a motivational book. I started my canoe 6 months ago and I poke around at it from time to time, I figure I might have it done by the time I retire (and that's a few years off still). I must say that this book is easy to use, easy to understand and has been helpful when I have felt stuck. The fact that I procrastinate is not a fault of this book. If you want to build a strip canoe, this book is a great place to start.

Summary: Plans are nice but the building instructions are dated
Comment: Having the drawings included with the book is nice because you don't have to loft them from offset tables of buy plans separately. The building directions are dated. For example, this book still recommends using polyester resin. Epoxy resin is superior for this application. Also, things like cove and bead strips are not discussed. I have the Canoecraft book by Ted Moores and I really like the variety of designs in his book as well as the detailed instructions.
