Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (2 reviews)

Rating: 5
Summary: Must have for S&S owners or enthusiasts
Comment: Contrary to what the other reviewer says, this is a great book, in larger format, with images of the drawings on nice, heavy paper. Absolutely a must-own volume for S&S fans and friends. If you want to read more on Olin himself, buy "All this and Sailing, Too". If you want to see a lot of beautiful boat drawings from, arguably, the most successful yacht design firm in the 20th century, buy this book.

Rating: 2
Summary: Mediocre illustrations
Comment: Lines: A Half-Century of Yacht Designs by Sparkman & Stephens, 1930-1980, consists almost entirely of scaled down photographic reproductions of actual Sparkman & Stephens company drawings. Several are faint and barely legible. The few pages of text about Olin Stephens are uninformative and read like promos for a music cd.
