170 pp., hardcover
Limited availability.

The most complete book published on wooden working boats of Portugal. Beautiful color artwork, it was published in 1984 in Portugal (written in English) and has been out of print for some time. But we have copies, although the dustjackets are not in the best of shape--but that was from the original wooden crating / shipping when we got them back in the 80s.
