Yes, John Lull's book, "Sea Kayaking Safety and Rescue" is very good. I just bought it and I'm about half way finished. Well written and lots of good photos. The following is a list of the chapter titles to give you an idea of what is in the book. Building a Safety Foundation Sea-Kayaking Domains Equipment Selection and Use Assisted Deep-Water Rescues Self-Rescues Rescues in Surf and Ocean Rock Gardens The Eskimo Roll Backup Strategies Towing Weather and Sea Conditions Tides and Currents Dealing with Boat Traffic Safety in Surf and Ocean Rock Gardens Risk Assessment Group Safety Through Teamwork Training I do not have "Sea Kayak Rescue" by Roger Schumann and Jan Shriner yet so I can't make a comparison. I've attended some of Roger's classes at the West Coast Sea Kayak Symposium and can say he is an excellent instructor. As Steve Scherrer mentioned, the other safety book is "Deep Trouble" by Matt Broze and George Gronseth. I've read this book numerous times over the years and it definately should be required reading for anyone that goes sea kayaking. This book has many true stories of sea kayaking accidents, some fatal and some near fatal.
