Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very good pre-training book
Review: Since I'm going to learn how to paraglide this spring, I decided to buy a book to help initiate me. Mr. Whittall obviously knows his sport and knows how to dumb it down a bit for us beginners. He tells you what you can expect your first times launching and landing, the importance of a serious attitude toward this specialized aviation, and all sorts of tidbits about weather and finding lift. Although the book as a whole could have used better organization and proofing before publication, it is nevertheless an enjoyable and informative read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very excellent guide, especially for beginners
Review: The book did not include powered paragliding, unfortunately. It was very informative about the handling of paragliders and the manouvers necessary to learn this sport safely.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No real detail
Review: Try to cover too much, without much substance. I might help you get an overall idea of the sport, but not much more than common sense.

I am a beginner, but not a starter and was looking for a book of which I can learn and apply from.
