Book Reviews of Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing
Book Review: Now they tell me!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is such a complete hoot; also it's full of helpful insights into all the things I wanted to know but was too stupid to ask! It's such a fun to read book that I even read the sections about the stuff I (thought) I already knew - and I'll do it again too. Mr Vigor's writing style is just so friendly and understandable, that it's a pleasure to read and learn from.
In short, you won't regret having purchased this book - it's affordable and fun.
