 By H.W. Patterson
 Harold Patterson's Small Boat Building was one of the first attempts to take the mystery out of boat construction for the average man. His book emphasizes the "do-it-yourself" attitude that amateur boatbuilders must bring to their work. He takes pains to explain just enough of the basic techniques of boatbuilding to give the beginner a good understanding of what is involved in the process. At the same time, he doesn't weigh the reader down with too much information that would be likely to discourage a novice.  Literally hundreds of people have built their own small craft with the help of Patterson's timely and basic advice. By the time they finish this short book, readers can expect to have a thorough knowledge of how a boat's parts fit together and how they can manage that task on their own. We think Small Boat Building is an essential book for anyone who is thinking about building a small boat. Whether you plan to do the work yourself or have it built by an expert, Small Boat Building will give you insight on how to do it right.
