A pitty it is out of printMay 25, 2001 It is too bad it is out of print. If you can get a used copy, get it! There is a second volume by a different set of writers that covers the rivers of the Guyanas, most notably how to do river trips in Suriname. The only downside is that this book is from the early 1980s and south america has changed quite a bit. Most of the rivers described are unchanged, but some have been dammed, and government access rules have changed. The travelling-in-the-rough crowd is badly in need of a revised version of this volume. This book, together with Joe Kane's "Running the Amazon" should be enough to get any weekend canoe-tripper thinking about future travels to the "continent of rivers".
