Rating:  Summary: Jump! An invaluable resource and a great read Review: A great read! Extremely well written! The information that the writer shares with his readers is invaluable for the first time skydiver, anyone who ever thought about jumping and everyone who is curious about the sport. The information is well organized and it is easy to find the answer to any question the reader might have. The writer has a great ability to captivate the reader and put the reader in the moment of the jump. Tom Buchanan clearly knows and loves his sport and shares his enthusiasm with the reader. I highly recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: Blue Skies & Soft Landings Review: Skydiving Instructor Tom Buchanan takes the student (and the reader) by the hand from the first jump on up. He tells you what to expect and shows you what to do so that you will progress up the skydiving ladder faster while having even more fun. See the Table of Contents under Editorial Reviews, above. See the back cover description of the book under From the Inside Flap, above. They describe the book's coverage well. Books like this contribute to the proliferation of skydiving knowledge and are responsible for the orderly development of the sport of parachuting. As the co-author (with Mike Turoff) of Parachuting, The Skydiver's Handbook and six other books on parachutes and skydiving, I recognize a good skydiving book when I see one. Highly recommended. --Dan Poynter, D-454, ParaPublishing.com.
