THE ROSE IS MORE THAN JUST A ROSE

I'd never thought of refurbishing a sailboat. To my surprise this witty, informative tale of happy travail kindled envy, and made the task seem excitingly do-able. Through the non-technical (mostly) content, I felt I'd come to know the author in unexpected ways. This project, he observes, taught him nearly as much about himself as he learned about restoration of this Atkins Packet Sloop. This is an exemplar of popular non-fiction and an excellent How To book. It is beautifully produced with artfully effective color and black and white photos and drawings. It is much more than a Coffee Table book. At the least it is intriguing and engrossing. Bob Duff
