: I forget, not everybody on this boards has heard of "Kayaks of
: Greenland: The History and Development of the Greenlandic
: Hunting Kayak, 1600-2000.” KOG for short. In my blog entry I have
: more information on the book. Below is an excerpt from my post:

: "It was written by Harvey Golden in 1999 and published in
: 2006. It’s 580 pages of “the construction, design,
: variation, and evolution of the Greenlandic hunting kayak.”
: There are 104 scale drawings of museum specimens dating from the
: early 1700′s through the 2oth century. It’s become the bible
: for people interested in Greenland-style kayaks. There are also
: hundreds of historical images and technical drawings. It’s
: available through Harvey’s website and through Amazon."

: If you're interested in the history of kayaks, it's $70 well spent.
: Only one problem with the book: you'll want to build them all!
: Actually, I think Harvey HAS... :D

Btw Dan, this just proves she's got good taste :)

my copy rarely seems to make it into the bookcase.
