Customer Reviews   Excellent book for touring kayakers Rating:  I mistakenly bought this book to help me get started with recreational kayaking. I found this fascinating, comprehensive, and well-written, but duhh -- I should have paid more attention to the subtitle: (Sea Kayaking How-To). I doubt I will ever get into kayaking on this level, but for people who want to know everything about heading off into the wild blue yonder in a kayak, it would be an excellent choice! I would *love* to find a Kayaking for Dummies book. From my point of view, most of the books out there are geared to outdoor gear-head types in good shape. I'm a 49-year-woman who wants to paddle the slow, spring-fed rivers of the Texas hill country and need something much more basic than this. Could have had more detail. Rating:  Good introductory book. It could have had a lot more specific information on kayaks and gear. "A picture is worth a thousand words..." Rating:  A very useful book, but the author insists on taking two paragraphs to describe a technique or motion that could be conveyed in a single picture or diagram. The few pictures that are in the book are very indistinct. It's no mystery why authors do this. It's much easier and cheaper to type an extra dozen sentences than to have an artist develop an appropriate graphic. Too bad, though, as the section on paddling would have benefited from some simple illustrations. As it is, there are perhaps four or five actual diagrams and they really don't contribute much to the book.
