By Don Casey. 144 pages, many illus, 7 1/2" x 9 1/2", hardcover.
Don Casey, the author of This Old Boat as well as this brand new book on boat canvas, has a real flair for making do-it-yourself projects fun and satisfying. The illustrations alone are worth the price. Indeed, most of the projects described could be built without ever reading a word of the text. Even so, the text is worth reading too. The fact that Don is not a professional canvas man is probably a big advantage—he does not miss salient points which seem too obvious for mention by professionals. You will find in this little book simply outstanding instruction for awnings, storage pockets, bags, sail covers, cushions, boat covers, biminis, dodgers, and sail repair.
