For a small book, this dictionary covers a lot. Unfortunately, many of the definitions use terms that are not themselves defined elsewhere in the dictionary, breaking a reasonable and inviolate rule that definitions should give a clear, freestanding explanation. Spending a little time to cross-reference the definitions themselves, to see that they are also in the text would be welcome. Some definitions are so short as to be useless to anyone who is not already an "old salt." The illustrations are welcome ... Read More Rating - Bad Book Thanks for taking my return. The book was not well written. Rating - A Very Good Start A very good book. The only critical thing I would say is that it lacks boat building terms and does not use WoodenBoat magazine as one of its many fine references. I saw the book advertised in the WoodenBoat catalog and assumed it would help in my new boat building project. I am still looking for a resource. It still has 2000 other terms. Not bad. see more reviews See all books by author John Rousmaniere
