The most comprehensive book I've found. Great for planning a trip, reviewing basic skills, and researching gear.

The holy book for those who paddle. An incredible reference guide for issues such as gear, repair, packing, and on and on. It's a big book, so just don't bring it on the river. Ok, Todd?
