Used Book-Sailing and Racing

This was the first time I bought a used book. It worked out very well because I originally took out the book from the local public library and now I have a reference copy of my own. The condition was advertised as good and the book had some notes in the margins but provides me with the information I need and expected. I will use this again and saves some cash.

Excellent, comprehensive coverage of topics

This is one of the best books on general sailing that I have ever read. It comes in second only to 'Sailing For Dummies' and that is just by a very slim margin. I have both books in my sailing library and between them, I have more than enough reference material to cover almost any sailing situation. This book should satisfy both beginning and experienced sailors alike. Good job...
