This review is from: Kayaks of Greenland: The History and Development of the Greenlandic Hunting Kayak, 1600-2000 (Paperback)
This book should be the first-choice reference for anyone interested in historic Greenland kayaks. If you have any interest in the subject, whether as a builder, paddler, or admirer, casual or professional, this is the book you should reach for.

This review is from: Kayaks of Greenland: The History and Development of the Greenlandic Hunting Kayak, 1600-2000 (Paperback)
For a specific subject as "Kayaks of Greenland" this book is much more encompassing than the title suggests. From the simple fittings on the deck lines all the way to the social & geographic implications of the kayaks and tools themselves, this book is a wealth of information to anyone with a hint of interest in these far flung people and their skill at building and use of kayaks. Not only does this book represent a mint of knowledge and research but it is written in such a way as to retain the readers interest from cover to cover.
