Jerry Sprout, Janine Sprout

Diamond Valley Company, 2007

A USEFUL Guide Book!
Guess where my wife wants to take me on her summer vacation? Hint: she likes lush resorts with hiking opportunities. I've been to the other islands of Hawaii several times, but never to Kauai. I don't need the usual 50 pages of cajoling to enjoy myself that most guidebooks feature, and in this era of goooogle, I certainly don't need out-of-date hotel listings. This is a book crammed with info ...

Diamond Valley Company, 2007

Fifteen day vacation
We decided to visit two islands because we had heard how different they were: Maui and the Big Island. We chose the trailblazer books to guide us since they were both crammed with incredibly helpful information. For hikers and snorkelers and sightseers they are a gold mine. They are written in clear language and the outings are well arranged with accompanying maps. The tips for getting ...

Excellent Book!
In my opinion strip built Canoe written by Randy Folsom is a well written book. I liked the content organization starts off from the basic areas and then dives into technical stuff as stripping, strip dimensions etc. I have built Canoe's for around 3 years now and the book brought out some great insights that were new to me as well. The illustrations are excellent as well. The language used by ...

Sexy spanking stories selected by Rachel Kramer Bussel for you!
Ahh... spanking! Who doesn't love spanking? I loved the first book in the series, and was astonished that Rachel Kramer Bussel could top "Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z, Volume 1." I suggest buying them both and keeping them on your nightstand for easy reach and reference. *grin* One story sexier and more erotic than the other. Each a winner, and a very enjoyable and sensual read. RKB ...

Holling C. Holling

Houghton Mifflin, 1980

Paddle to the Sea
I LOVE all of Holling Clancy Holling's books, but I have to admit that Paddle to the Sea is my favorite. The story of a little boy who carved a little man in a wooden canoe, and the adventures encounterd by the little man just captured my imagination. I never knew the Great Lakes until after feeling as though I had been there with Paddle to the Sea. H.C. Holling books are works of art packed with ...

Rich Freeman, Sue Freeman

Footprint Press, Inc., 2004

Very useful guide for paddlers
As soon as I got a kayak this summer, I bought both this book and the "Take a Paddle" for western New York. This region is a great place to put a little boat in the water--with lakes of all sizes, from little kettleholes to the Great Lakes, plus streams, and rivers, and the Erie canal. It really helps to have a guide to tell you where you can put in and take out, the difficulty of a route, how to ...

The author "rescued" us!
A group of companions and I were off to find a run of the Black River near Olympia, and were having trouble finding where we wanted. We were driving through Littlerock in two cars each with a canoe on top, and pulled over to compare ideas of what to do on our map. Behind us pulled up a truck as we stopped. It was Verne Huser himself, who noticed our canoes and that we were going in an odd ...

My book is worn out
This is a great book. It is also an easy read. I have had many friends & co-workers curse me for lending them "this stupid book I can't put down" ...and then they ask if they can lend it to another friend. Pages are falling out in the middle becuase it is so well used.

Elizabeth Yates

Bethlehem Books, 1999

Adventure and romance appropriate for teens
This book is one you'll want your teenage son to read and relate to. He'll learn such values as hard work, being dependable and cheerful, fortitude, and saving yourself for the right person. Two of my favorite quotes from this book are: "Each word must be distinct. It is a courtesy to speak so one can be understood; it is an art so to sing." (The father speaking to the protagonist.) "He who ...

Paddle Your Own Kayak: An Illustrated Guide to the Art of Kayaking

1 review
Gary McGuffin, Joanie McGuffin

Boston Mills Press, 2008

Concerns
I'm always delighted when a new kayaking book hits the shelves, especially a Canadian book focusing on the conditions with which we are most familiar (or would like to be). My concern with this book stems from the high brace illustrated on the front cover. The paddler's right arm is in an unstable position, leaving the shoulder at risk for dislocation. If this is the book's only error, it ...
