The book Maryland a Delaware Canoe Trails is written in a very usable form with all the required information to get you to river and tell you what you will see and get you home. Great book.

I have two qualms about this book.
1. It is a book. It is not waterproof, nor even water resistant. For a book on paddling and whitewater rafting, the inability to take it out on water seems a pretty remarkable drawback.
2. It has no photos. That's less of a drawback as it's information-packed. You'd be hard-pressed to go two pages without a map or illustration of some kind.

Now on to the good stuff.
This book is extremely information dense! It lists every lake, pond, creek, river and mud puddle. It rates them in so many different ways (level of difficulty, time to traverse, quality of scenery, seasonal availability, etc.) that EVERYONE will be able to find something that suits them. Whether you are a suicidal daredevil or an arthritic semi-invalid. This book is indispensable to planning your paddling trips.

Ed Gertler is as reliable as GOD
