A great coffee table book that encompasses a wide variety of rivers from all over the world. Packed full of colour photos, and even though many are quite dated already, they are mostly of a good quality. Although I do find many of the larger, full page prints quite grainy. The information contained in the book makes for excellent reading and I’m sure most kayakers would enjoy browsing through this one, I certainly did.
