I didn't care for George Putz's book.  I wouldn't trust his construction
methods in rough water. 

My usual order of suggestion for books about skin on frame is

#1 Wolfgang Brinck's "Building the Aleutian Kayak" - It makes a good
instruction manual.  Including a couple of ways to sew it up.
#2 George Dyson's "Baidarka" - for inspiration, lots of picture, and 
history, but not a good building manual.

Following those with the Little Kayak Books, David Zimmerly's Qajaq (out of
print and hard to find), and Skip Snaith's Umiak.
