3.0 out of 5 stars Why I only rate this book 3 stars! , 1 Oct 2007
By Mr. M. D. Hoskins "Matt Hoskins" (Cambs, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are not interested in Canoeing and only interested in Kayaking then this book has an advantage over some of the other books that focus on both disciplines. If you are on a budget or don't want to pay out loads then for £6.99 it is a good buy for what it is. It covers all the basics a beginner will need to know by sequence photographs and written step by step explanations. On the down side the photographs are in black and white and look like they have been borrowed from a 1970's book on kayaking. Also there are no diagrams so you have to rely on the photo's. I have since purchased a book on Canoeing & Kayaking which is far better with colour photos and detailed diagrams for £9.99 so compared to this I can only rate Kayaking by Nigel Foster a 3 Star.
