    This is a great book with many photos. The instructions are helpful and easy to follow. The section on using willow is interesting. Boat plans are not included.

    I not only purchased the book but, I also met the author (Hilary Russell) and have purchased plans to make a solo 10 1/2.
    The book goes into great detail and Hilary does a wonderful job explaining everything you need from start to finish!
