Product Description
"By Canoe" is the personal account of a husband and wife team who travelled six months and 3,000 miles in a canoe from Wisconsin to the Florida Keys! With many gritty black and white photographs, journal entries, and humorous anecdotes, this 150-page travel essay is both entertaining and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Warhol - Not!, March 28, 2002

By A Customer

This is a great book. It's something you can pick up and read cover to cover, or a chapter at a time. What I particularly like about it is how refreshing and clean the book is. It's a book about a journey that gives the authors a cross-section of America, both literally and figuratively. They tell you what they like, what they don't like, what they expected, and what they did not.

Sometimes books of this nature get a bit preachy (i.e. you should live life the way I do), but this book doesn't go there. It is frank about beliefs, opinions, pleasures and disappointments, and draws you in to the journey. I found myself chuckling at various stories, and sharing those with my wife. At other times I shared the disappointment the authors experienced. At all times I felt like my toes were dangling in the water with them.

The photos are terrific. These are the types of shots that give the adage "A photo is worth a thousand words," real meaning. I'm not sure if I laughed more at the photo: "Andy Warhol Bruised My Banana" or the title of the photo itself. I kept thinking, 'These two have WAY too much time on their hands'... but then again, that's where the real beauty of this book lies.

Buy it. Share it. Wait a minute, don't share it - make 'em buy their own - I want to see these two make some money so they can take another trip (and write another book?).

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Path Less Traveled, August 11, 2002

By	Sean Salene (Wilmington, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a wonderful ride by a pair of adventurers! I found the book fascinating from the start, from the audacity of the authors to sell every item that couldn't be packed in a canoe, to a view of Americana that most of us forgo in our temperature-controlled world and an honest look at real people. It made me think about what I "can't do without", and how that's not really true. I bought an extra copy for my Dad, who admires those who listen to their own drummer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!, July 23, 2002

By A Customer

Recommended by friends, I'm very pleased. The photography is phenomenal, and the way the authors portray their adventure is sometimes romantic, sometimes comical, sometimes surreal, but always exquisite. A great adventure, and a great book.
