5.0 out of 5 stars
boat-lovers paradise,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boats (Hardcover)
If you love boats, you will love this book. I've never seen anything like it. Pictures of boats from around the world (Chile, France, Kenya, Seychelles and many more) are paired with wonderful quotes (Whitman, Neruda, Twain, etc.) that capture the mystery and beauty of the world afloat. Fishing boats, kayaks, reed boats, tall ships, row boats, house boats, steamers--they're all here. And, like Kenneth Grahame writes in Wind of the Willows, "There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats."

great pics, great quotes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boats (Hardcover)
You don't have to love boats to love this book. The international subjects, the dramatic angles, the unexpected elements--all add up to great photos. On top of that the quotes that accompany many of the photos wonderfully enhance the pages. Just a beautiful selection of nautical "sound bites." A wonderful gift book.

By A Customer
This review is from: Boats (Hardcover)
This is a very unique book that is more than the title sugests it has a way of carrying you into the sea.The writings that accompany each photo are both eloquint and pleasureably to read. I love the variety of photos not the same angle with a different boat page after page.
