Canoe and Boat Building A Complete Manual for Amateurs, W P Stephens, 1885. Can anyone help me find a good copy of this book. There is one online, but I would like one for my shelf.
Thank you.
Gary :D
PS Even a good reprint.
abebooks.com is usually a great place to find used books easily, but they only have a poor copy of this one right now:

If you are looking for a rare nautical book, this is a good place to start for reprints.
