It was the Guardian review that prompted me to ask -- the reason for asking being that so many books on the canals fall to pieces for people who know about them.

I was given it as a present and enjoyed it. Its a mix of history of canals and canal people and current use. The writer isn’t 100% focused totally on narrowboat use of canals but it’s interesting.

Plenty of copies on Abe books.
