A couple of months ago while searching around amazon.com I came across a book not yet published. Expected date , as I recall , was for January 2003. I ordered it. Much to my surprise the book arrived in the mail today. Chris Cunningham's "Building the Greenland Kayak - a manual for its construction and use " from Ragged Mountain Press . I haven't had much time to do more than just skim through it yet but I runs 193 pages covering Design, tools, materials , milling , frame work, the hull , finishing the frame , skinning , deck fittings, the paddle , clothing , accessory equipment , eskimo rolling and variations. The variations covering a rolling kayak , a folding kayak and a kids kayak. The S word appears to have been avoided in favor of the terms " inflatable tubes " and "balance sacks". ISBN 0-07-139237-8 20 bucks should anyone be interested.
