Book Reviews of A Field Guide to Sailboats of North America

Book Review: Great book, 100s of sailboat reviews but shoddy binding.
Summary: 4 Stars

Hundreds of sailboat reviews with line drawings, profiles, and boat specs. One of my favorite "most read" books. Binding is shoddy, however. Many internal pages in my copy are falling out of the book. A result of heavy use?
