Robert Moyer (Kittery Point, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cutwater: Speedboats and Launches from the Golden Days of Boating (Hardcover)
Anyone who loves classic wooden boats - and even anyone who doesn't - will find this photographically stunning book a joy to open. And have trouble putting down once they have.
That's how beautiful Duncan's full-color images are, and how easy-going they'll find the text. Its brevity and light touch leave the reader wanting to know more. And see more of Duncan's compelling photographs of boats old and new that almost defy description in their pursuit of aethetic - and mechanical - perfection.

It's a perfect gift for any boat lover in need or not. Think Christmas, think birthday, think any empty coffee table. Treat yourself. The very beauty of such hand-crafted masterpieces is an indulgence worth enjoying any time.

I bought this last year for my dad for Christmas. It gives some great information about these ole girls as well as many great photographs of amazing boats from a by-gone era. I would highly recommend this book to any antique boat enthusiast.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cutwater: Speedboats and Launches from the Golden Days of Boating (Hardcover)
This group did not disclose that this book had been a library book. It had stickers on the cover and a clear cover glued to the book. I purchased this as a gift. Used is fine, covered in stickers is NOT!.
