There are two copies of the 1994 edition in the Hamilton, New Zealand
library system, and one always seems to be in our suburban branch library
when I want to refer to it (several times over quite a few years). I will
keep a lookout for the second edition.

At present I have two more books on loan by authors whose names are familiar
from Paddlewise. These are:

1. The Optimum Kayak, by Andy Knapp, which I found to be an interesting
read, and would be happy to have a copy of my own on my bookshelf.

2. The Strip-Built Sea Kayak, By Nick Schade. I don't want to give this back
to the library! Just looking at the cover makes you want to build one.
Unfortunately I have too many other distractions in life to be able to start
right now, but I could go and check what tools I have...

So what other books should I be watching out for?
