Summary: Excellent book, likely the best.
Comment: This book makes the blue-covered book look like a throw-away. I have not read "Strippers Guide" but after reading the comments contained under that book title, I have to believe this one is better.
If you can't build a canoe with this book, you can't build one.

Summary: This is a must have
Comment: I have read other books on canoe building and this one was for me the best. It has good advice on which style of wood strip canoe to build for your purpose, looks at plans, materials and tools and then goes through the process of building a 16 foot Redbird. It had enough detail (marginally fuzzy b&w photos but excellent line drawings) to guide me, a complete beginner, through the whole process and I recommend it. Other books have great tips and overviews of the techniques, and are useful for additional information; but this was the one that, by leading me through each step in enough detail from start to finish answering my questions as it went, made me confident that I could safely start the project and build that canoe.

Summary: Rock solid guide to get you floating in a heirloom...
Comment: Without any previous wood working experience, this book guided me through the hundreds of little steps required to build a canoe of excellent qualities. Ted Moores really thought of everything, and if I (12.000 miles south of Ontario) could do it, so can you.
On the down side, the books omits any reference to the extremely useful bulletin board at Ted Moores own website. Also, his method is so smooth and free of doubts, that it helps to purchase some other book with a different outlook, just to relax a little. He does say "professional results" a few times too often for my taste.
BUT, when it is time to get building, make sure you do as he says, because he really knows what is best for your boat.
