    I was browsing their site about a week ago and saw that there was a new book available...so I bought it. Got it yesterday and am about 1/2 through. It is set up like a builders notebook and is even spiral bound to lay flat on a page. It covers Plywood boat building and is set up for the amateur builder as a reference guide. In some ways it is much like Devlin's book but simplified and more like an actual notebook with snippets of knowledge. It covers a bit on design, shape and style of hulls, motor placements, transom design for OBs, filleting, stringers, chinelogs ...you name it. It is full of tips and tricks. I would recommend this for any person new to boatbuilding or even someone with a few under their belt.
