``Some of the stuff in this 242-page volume is useful. . .all of it is snake-eye fascinating.'' (Boating )

``Opening [this book] is. . .like opening a can of salty nuts. I can't resist just a little more before putting it away.'' (Dockside )

``Vigor successfully combines fun and function in a dictionary-style resource that is eminently readable. . .[It] is tough to put down.'' (Lakeland Boating )
