2.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, June 9, 2006
This review is from: The Big Book of Boat Canvas: A Complete Guide to Fabric Work on Boats (Paperback)
What a disappointment! This is not a book about boat canvas, this is a book about sewing arts and crafts in canvas on a boat. Projects include "A simple duffel bag", a "Life Jacket Bag", a "Bicycle Bag"; and under "Interior" are projects like "Sheets and Quilts" and "Curtains". There is some discussion of exterior boat canvas, but the information is cursory and focused on sailboats. If you want to increase your knowledge of boat canvas before laying down a few thousand dollars to have new canvas made for your boat, this book will not help you.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Help, June 22, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Big Book of Boat Canvas: A Complete Guide to Fabric Work on Boats (Paperback)
I bought this book because I need to make a bimini top for the used boat I just purchased. (The old canvas is gone.) Unfortunately, this book's instruction on how to make a bimini top boils down to: "It's hard to make bimini tops, so you should use your old one to make a pattern for the new one." No help whatsoever if you don't have an old one! Buyer beware.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Big Disappointment!, April 10, 2004
By 
John Meister (Middleton, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Book of Boat Canvas: A Complete Guide to Fabric Work on Boats (Paperback)
Just another book of projects with very little detail. If you are looking for a book that explains the hows and whys of sewing boat canvas, this is not it.

At least I bought it used.
