"Often in life someone will pose the question, "If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take one book with you, what would it be?" Some people actually struggle with these question, pondering what book they'd like to read repeatedly while awaiting rescue or death. Others offer a quick answer, then change their minds as they consider the 135th re-read of Moby Dick.
Well, the dilemma is over. Devlin's Boatbuilding is the book you want with you on that island. True, it's no Ulysses or even Holy Bible, but the kind of sustenance you'll get from Devlin is better than intellectual or spiritual. Read this book and you might be able to Macgyver yourself a small boat from island materials. Even if you can't craft a raft yourself, you can dream of floating away in one of many examples Devlin provides."
