this book is a good mix of history and details about building any number of small craft. Nicely written and worth the price.

I picked up a copy of THE DORY BOOK in 1993. I wanted to build a rowing/sailing craft that would be relatively stable in weather. I read Gardner's book cover to cover, decided that there was enough detailed information to guide a first-time boat builder through the construction of almost any of the boats described, and started building the Dion Swampscott dory in my basement that December. With the book open on my work bench, I slowly turned a pile of oak and northern white pine lumber into a 17' dory that has served me well in a variety of settings, from Lake Champlain to Penobscot Bay to the waters off Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. My only regret is that I never got to take John Gardner's boat building course at Mystic Seaport. The book will guide anyone with reasonable woodworking skills through the almost mystical experience of building a classic small craft. If you have any interest in boat building, this book belongs in your library, if not on your work bench.

This is a classic book about a classic form of boat: the dory. John Gardner's expertise and enthusiasm are clearly communicated with great writing and illustrations. It's a wonderful history of American small craft as well as an excellent guide on how to build them.

Excellent book with a wealth of information on the building of dory's. A little inconsistant with the plans from boat to boat, but overall, a great book to have and to use.

This book has a wealth of information, for those interested in building dories. Clear and consise explanations, as well as a great how to build chapter, were excellent. I have begun building a swampscott dory, and would be lost without this book. Anyone interested in building wooden dories would be wise to have this book in their collection.
