Check Ebay or elsewhere for Boat Carpentry by Hervey Garrett Smith.

This a very good book on skills, materials, and tools for working with wood
and fibergalss. Although its a bit dated (mine's a 1965 edition), the
content is excellent.

What Shape is She In? by Allan H. Vaitses. I got it a long time ago from the
folks at International
Marine Pub. Co Camden, Maine 04843 Good luck!

That's the one. Excellent book, full of anecdotal stories and a great dry
humour. "Grump" lives up to his name. ;-)
