- p***l (111)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat condition. It is important to remember that Bill Mason's book was seminal work in its day. Very comprehensive book on canoeing. However, the presentation of information is dated with black and white photos and there are newer books with similar information. I bought it to replace a copy I had years ago; because I feel it belongs in the library of every serious canoeist, especially if you like to do expedition canoeing.
