The Whole Paddler's Catalog (1997)

The Whole Paddler's Catalog, edited by Zip Kellog. If you are a canoeist, kayaker, or river rafter, this eclectic mix of essential and esoteric facts will keep you engrossed for days. Longtime paddler Zip Kellog left no stone unturned in his search for paddling-related information. Included are resources for every aspect of paddling: Boats and gears; Maps and guides; clubs, events, symposia, publications, and Web sites; Conservation handbooks and manuals; A survey of paddling literature, art, music; And perhaps the most comprehensive paddling bibliography ever assembled, with excerpts from Thoreau, Theroux, Mason, Barrow, and many others. Sprinkled throughout are technical tips and bits of wisdom, as well as alternative views from leading figures in the sport.
