Title: Not what it appears
Product review: Having a keen interest in the subject matter this book purportedly covers, that of piloting on the Delaware Bay and River, I was very disappointed to find the discussion of piloting is only a sidebar to the book's main theme. If I was interested in reading about Quakers and their objection to war, or the love triangle that ensues, I would have rated this book much higher. Although fiction, I was expecting this book to cover in much greater detail what it took to become a pilot at the turn of the century and would have found this highly interesting. To the contrary, the reader is left with little more knowledge of this area at the end of the book as he was at the beginning. This is a prime example of the saying, 'You can't tell a book by its cover'.
