i have only flipped through this book so im not going to say much about whats in it.
i just wanted to say that my book came with the spiral binding....maybe some of them do not?? it seems that way,according to one other guy ....
this title came up so darn often ,no matter where i was reading,,or the website,,,when it came to "LOFTING they always came back to this book. from some of the referrals i read,,,i trust them,,and eventually give this a read.

I always wanted to know what lofting is all about. Well, now I know. The book is very interesting and explanatory. Although I found some illustrations confusing, I think that it covers the subject in a significant depth. Recomended. I even think of lofting my next boat.

Lofting -- the process of transferring the information on paper plan to the real thing, is the one of most confusing and intimidating aspects of boatbuilding. This book sets out to explain it in some detail. Unfortunately the the author gets sidetracked by details and in trying to include all aspects of lofting glosses over some of the fundamentals. It was helpful to me since I had learned the basics from other books, but if you want to learn lofting with no prior knowledge this is not the book for you. There was no discussion of planking and spiling (what I was looking for). The illustrations are helpful, but there could be more. It is not spiral bound as described -- it is a conventially bound paperback which doesn't like to stay open.
