Anyone read either or both who can provide a recomendation/review?  P.S.  I have Hutchenson's COMPLETE BOOK OF SEA KAYAKING and found the illustrations in the rolling chapter to be somewhat unclear.  As for my background/qualifications I am currently going into week three of a six session pool rolling class (at the Yonkers, NY YMCA for those of you familiar with this perenial class taught by Andy L.) and I paddled a yak for the first time yesterday.

  There's also a great video on rolling called, "Grace Under Pressure". 
Sometimes actually watching roll techniques helps more than simply
reading about it.
