Format:Hardcover
We are new to narrowboats and wanted something to cover the basics of care as well as some pre-purchase information. Although randomly selected, this book hit the spot. Plenty of technical info, but not too much as to go straight over our heads, but the best thing about the book is that despite being a very useful reference for us novices, is that the underlying humour constantly raises a giggle as you read... And boating should never be too serious...

Another of those books or manuals you never read all the way through in one sitting. But then how many people do, when it's a "Care and Maintenance" book? I like the clearly laid out text and not put off by technical jargon. I honestly admit to STILL not having read every minute dot, dash, syllable and bit of text but what I have read, I understand and know I'll keep as a good "well, let's think of this-bit-first" book, when I go to look for and after things! A big thank you to N.B. for putting it this into words some of us non-techies can understand.
