Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Jul 21, 2008 Type: User Review Too wordy, real stuff sparse

Having seen excited reviews and high rating, I decided to buy the book as well. I found that this book does NOT make an exception from ALL those pretty much useless books which offer QUICK RESULTS with LESS EFFORT.
Too many tirades...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Feb 27, 2008 Type: User Review Total Immersion

This is a pretty useful "how to" guide for a regular swimmer, like me, who wants to swim better and more efficiently. I gained a number of practical suggestions about technique, and about the structure of sets and drills for training. One...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Nov 04, 2007 Type: User Review liar liar pants on fire

Sadly, Mr. Perkins tries to compensate for his apparent 'shortcomings' in other areas by building an enormous ship. David Kaplan correctly characterizes him as narcissist who lacks the fundamental human trait of compassion for his fellow man (or...

I just received a copy of the 63rd edition of this book and to my big disappointment, I realized that the author(s) had no interests in multihulls. This is surprising to me as so much cruising is now done on sailing catamarans. Must say, the book...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Jan 27, 2001 Type: User Review Too much detail ?

An overall very well written and informative book. The detail is overkill in places, I especially got a kick from the one page instruction on how to wash clothes in a bucket. People needing this detail should not be cruising.

The contradictions...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jan 28, 2008 Type: User Review Great detailed book

I have learned all the needed information required to build a Strip kayak.
