Summary: If you need to know about planking and fastening
Comment: I don't know why the other reviewer bought this book. This is a collection of articles by different authors from Woodenboat magazine regarding ... planking and fastening. It's not really a fun book like some boat design books but more of a manual on how to complete a boat. If you're building a tradional(non-plywood)wood boat, you'll find at least one and probably several articles in here that will more than pay for the book in time and money saved. I gave it 4 stars because it could be a bit better organized.

Summary: Bring Your Marine Glossary For This Book
Comment: On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being written for the novice and 10 being written for the professional, I definitely have to rate this book a 10 for it's technical difficulty. The author apparently feels it's more important to impress the reader with how much he knows and all the fancy words that a "real" professional would use rather than write an easy to follow how-to book that most novices can follow. This is not to say that this is the only marine how-to author who is guilty of this. However, this guy pushes it way over board (no pun intended). After spending 15 minutes with this book, I had to pack it up and send it back to whence it came. Even the pictures were difficult to follow. Sorry, Pete. Maybe I'll come across one of your other books that I can understand a little more easily. But this one had me baffled from the word go.
