Rating:  Summary: Useful information Review: There is a lot of good information in this book, but most of it can be found toward the beginning. The tips on predicting the weather alone could be worth the price of the book. However, the maps of the various waterways were absolutely terrible. I would recommend this book for a general overview and lots of tips and tricks for paddlers, and the two "Canoeing and Kayaking the Streams of Florida" guides for detailed information on specific waterways.

Rating:  Summary: Paddler's guide to the Sunshine State Review: This is an excellent book for anyone who enjoys and wants to explore the inland waterways of Florida. It is extremely informative and contains all the important information you would need to explore the areas highlighted. I particularly like the maps and directions to access points. Also, the tips on camping and fishing are great and provide info I have not been able to find elsewhere. There are many local areas mentioned that I have thought looked interesting on my charts but wasn't sure how to get to them. Now I do!

Rating:  Summary: good book Review: Well, I've typed this twice, I think. Anyway, the writer has a good sense of humor, and I'd like to paddle with her sometime. Each chapter has a story to go with it, from Indian history to digging fossils to fishing to how NOT to cook on a week long canoe camping trip. I'll use this book often.
