Title: disappointing
Product review: This reads like an overly-long magazine article--it's greatly padded. The true focus of this book (the story of the lives of the men who build these boats) is often muddled, and displaced by excessive details on boat building techniques. Such minutiae serves to distract the reader. There is a book here somewhere, but the author hasn't quite found it yet. On the plus side, the writing style can be engaging at times.
