I read this book last year, and was thrilled to see my greatgrangfather and mother's names appear in the list of marriges, it gave a valuable insight into life on the canal.
The only down side I feel were, no links to go elsewhere for more information, on boat names, old maps of the area, tracing who owned what boats. valuable information for tracing your family tree.

The book arrived in excellent condition and was what I expected it to be.
I bought it because I thought it might help me to get a better picture of
my ancestors, (some of whom were 'Boatmen' and their families.)and their
living conditions.
There is a list of marriages which I found informative and helpful, and I
will be including it as part of the 'family tree', which I am compiling
for my own family.
