Editorial Reviews

Review

"Al-Hijji has produced the most comprehensive description of dhow-building so far published. ...Almost uniquely among books on traditional craft, Al-Hijji includes a chapter that puts names and faces to some of Kuwait's most famous boat-builders. ...The construction process is the book's core and its greatest contribution to our understanding of the dhow." -- Eric Kentley, Journal of Maritime Research, September 2002.
