ALUMINIUM BOATBUILDING
by Earnest H Sims
The only book on small boat aluminium boatbuilding for a long while this manual has been largely taken over by the newer Boatbuilding with Aluminium. Reading this book will help you to better understand the material and its abilities, its strengths and its weaknesses. If your budget stretches to both books then you will be able to gather information not available in Boatbuilding with Aluminium but for those on a budget the latter would be the better buy of the two.
