Good Boats R. L. Millen I bought this book from Amazon because our local library had, in it's wisdom, decided they wouldn't keep it and sold it for 50 cents while I was not watching. Meanwhile I have been building a Coaster style schooner using the lines from the book! I was understandably annoyed and decided to get my own copy. It's an interesting book for a keen boatie but is certainly not to everyones taste. The articles on each boat are a good read for a cold night tucked up before a blazing fire. You might even get inspired to build one of the examples like I am at present.. T.M.Hall said GREAT REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF MANY CLASSIC BOATS! VERY EDUCATIONAL!!. A GREAT description and review of many classical boats, mostly sail, with history, performance, and technical data. Roger Taylor has the knowledge and ability to accurately and colorfully compile these reviews.I loved this book and still pull it off the shelf periodically!. Four Stars Very pleased with the quality and state of this book. With thanks Andrew Willing
