4.		The Expectant Father's Cradle Boat Book from Wooden Boat Publications Customer Review: This book is reasonably well written, though it is clear the author didn't build several of these boats before writing. . .perhaps just a single prototype. Given that a whole book is devoted to two cradles, the lack of detail, tips, strategies, etc with respect to clamping and fastening strips is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		100 Boat Designs Reviewed: Design Commentaries by the Experts (Woodenboat) from Wooden Boat Publications Price: $18.96 Customer Review: I agree with a previous reviewer, in that many of the drawings needed to be cleaned up - a lot.

9.		A Passage in Time: Along the Coast of Maine by Schooner from W W Norton & Co Inc Customer Review: I grew up on the coast of Maine; sailing on the schooners all summer. Peter Spectre's writing captures the feeling of sailing on a schooner perfectly, and Benjamin Mendlowitz's photographs are simply the best.
