Picked this up at the library when I was thinking of buying a canoe. I liked that it was short and straight to the point. a lot of great insight into how to paddle efficiently and many different strokes and their uses. Sometimes it was bit hard to follow and would work better as a video or an in person demo. Overall, still a good read for some paddling fundamentals.
