from Simon & Schuster
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
This book was a gift and I could not put it down. Through a narrative the author draws into question our modern frentic lifestyle and finds folks who are able to find fulfillment doing what they love.

3.The Boatbuilder s ApprenticeThe Boatbuilder's Apprentice
from International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:
Although it's not too old, my copy of Rossel's book is dog-eared and stained. That's because it lives not on a shelf but on the work bench in my shop. I refer to it, and Rossel's earlier book, frequently. Building a boat involves hundreds of small tasks, some of them a bit tricky. Because many of... more info

Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
This is one of the best how to books I've ever read. It is very clearly written and covers everything about building stitch and glue boats. There are lots of photos and the appendix lists lumber marine suppliers around the US. Depending on your boat's plans, you MAY not need this book. I built a... more info

8.Moving Heavy ThingsMoving Heavy Things
from Wooden Boat Publications
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
This is basically nothing more than a children's book with advanced (and at times, outright bizarre) verbiage. While it does touch on a few rudimentary principles of basic mechanical advantages, it isn't "instructive" in any usefully comprehensive sort of way.
It's kinda sad, because the... more info
