Hardcover book with gold lettering on blue cloth, inside dust jacket. Includes index. Maps inside front and back cover. From the preface: We are pleased to have this opportunity to reintroduce Bill Wolferstan's "Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands", and gratified that it has been so well received that it requires reprinting for the third time. First published in October, 1980, this book has done much to lead the yachtsmen of B.C. to venture further afield in pursuit of the cruising dream: quiet, protected and secluded anchorage in a wilderness setting with spectacular secenery, not so very far from civilization, yet somewhar far removed. Whether it is your first or twenty-first exploration of the area, this book will prove to be an invaluable companion, rich with the sort of information yachtsmen need to take full advantage of the cruising experience. - from Amzon
