Review
Detailed information... Hap Wilson has personally explored the rivers.
Personally documented maps... far more information than a volume size might lead the reader to expect.--Linda Turk"Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal" (07/04/2004)
Engaging and idiosyncratic... the clear pen-and-ink maps are full of details... some photographers dream of wild places and seek the way. I would recommend these books to them.--J.A. Lamont"Canadian Camera" (01/01/2005)
Compiled by Hap Wilson, an outdoor writer who has more than thirty years of experience as a wilderness guide... personally documented maps... far more information than a volume size might lead the reader to expect.--Linda Turk"Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal" (07/04/2004)
Sound advice on important topics... Anyone planning a canoe trip to the areas covered by Wilson will benefit greatly by reading these guidebooks, but even canoeing enthusiasts not planning on travelling to these regions by canoe will enjoy just reading them.--Glenn Perrett"Cottage Times" (07/15/2004)
