This book is out of print, but if you find a copy, it's worth buying.

It contains lots of useful information on the construction and repair of composite kayaks. While a bit is dated, most is still current. There is no other book like it; the closest you can get are the fiberglass books by Gougeon and others that are specific to sail and motor boats.
