Summary: Lovely book, pity about the cover
Review: It's a pity that a detailed set of architects drawings is not included, as well as drawings of her various interior configurations. Also, the dust jacket on my edition features a painting by T. Thompson in which the proportions are all wrong and the boat seems 100 feet long, not 72. Apart from that, it's a wonderful book and I reccomend it unreservedly.

Summary: If the name Herreshoff raises your pulse, read this book
Review: More than your classic coffee-table book, Jack does a wonderful job tracing this boat's history from her own perspective, as well as from her owners and associates as well. The photography alone is worth the price of admission. Her launch photo is spectacular. My only disappointment is with the final chapter(s), wherein her story does seem to take on a bit of a sappy note.When you've finished this book you will realize that the only real boats are those made of wood. Anything else is just .....well, plastic I guess!
