This book condenses a remarkable amount of information, from the canal-digging 'navvies' to the present revival scene. It looks especially at our waterways now -- at the intriguing locks, tunnels, aqueducts, bridges, boats and other sights to seek out. There is a descriptive canal list, maps, a wealth of cruising photographs, and a widely-varied source-list fro deeper study.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A first edition [the only edition] of this later title, in nice presentable condition.
