Summary: Required Reading
Comment: This collection of complete boat plans, instructions, and boat-building tips is simply wonderful.

Summary: Another Great John Gardner Book
Comment: This book (actually a collection of two earlier books) is full of great boats with their histories and the plans and instructions to build them.

It's a compelling read whether you're looking for a boat to build or just love boats. I couldn't put it down.
