THE RIGGING HANDBOOK             
Brion Toss
Combines and updates Brion Toss’s earlier works The Rigger’s Apprentice and The Rigger’s Locker. “The Rigging Handbook certainly adds more to our knowledge of rigging than anything published for many a year and is probably one of the major works on the subject – ever.” – W8 review.
Hardback. 240 x 195mm, 392pp, b/w dwgs.

HOW TO INSTALL A NEW DIESEL
Peter Cumberlidge                   
Having torn out the old clunker and built three extra berths in the space, there’ll still be room for a modern miniature diesel. The choice of model is probably as intimidating as building the beds and lining her up but the author helps all the way.
Softback. 216 x 135mm,
144pp, dwgs & pix. £14 Order no. AC0030

PAINTING & VARNISHING
Peter H Spectre             
Another of the excellent WoodenBoat books, this one covers the subject from preparing the surface to final coat. There’s good advice whether you’re an unrepentent varnisholic or firmly in the Dias-Gartside ‘Real men don’t do brightwork’ school.  Softback. 275 x 212mm, 160pp, dwgs & pix.

BOAT JOINERY & CABINET MAKING SIMPLIFIED

THE SAILMAKER’S APPRENTICE
Emiliano Marino
Back in the now extinct W13, Bryce Avery, describing making his own sails, wrote: “I hoovered up every book I could find on the subject...(The Sailmaker’s Apprentice) was outstanding.” It still is. Comprehensive, beautifully  illustrated and at the price, outstanding value too.
Softback.  235 x186mm 494pp b&w dwgs.
