Invaluable guide. This book does not just tell the reader where to park and where to camp, also includes history, low impact camping tips, advice on ethics and hygiene and manners.The chapters on various island groups are described by different authors, with uneven quality. We have been to areas covered in three chapters, The Discovery Islands, The Clayoquot Sound, and the Gulf Islands. The details of the two of the chapters were precise, the hazards were as described (as we discovered when we did not take them seriously enough - I was almost run over by a whale watching boat in the fog off Vargus Island, a hazard that we had not taken seriously even though it was clearly described in the chapter).The chapter on the Discovery Islands in some cases offered vague or incorrect details as to the location of camp sites.For some reason, we did not find this book on the  web site by using searches that should have found it, for example kayaking British Columbia. But our local Kayak store carried it.
A really nice book for people who are new in sea kayaking. Have lots of information like outfitters, transportation, maps, etc. It's a good book to read for info. and to pick the best place to kayak in the NW if you have only a few days in the region.
Good information basically summarized. Most regions described are generalized but it gives you good information to start from. Maps could have been much better though.
Had problems with the quality of the "new" book I purchased. It was a beat copy I would never have selected off the shelf. When I buy something in "new" condition, I don't expect to get the grotty copy. Otherwise, the book is excellent.
Can't wait to use this guide.
Great Book. Thanks
