BOYS' BOOK OF OUTBOARD BOATING

Without indulging in superlatives or ""hard-sell"" techniques, Tom Parsons brings so much enthusiasm to his factual description of outboard boating, that there will be few readers not tempted. Going into every aspect of the sport--types of craft, locations for boating, signals, equipment, dangers--he not only offers the initiated a compendium of useful information, but he goes far to awaken the young reader in this ever growing activity, which at some level is accessible to anyone over the age of eight.
