Review

This practical guide covers such topics as touring bicycles (what to look for), maintenance and repair, camping gear (various bags are described as well as cameras), planning the trip, and suggested itineraries for places to visit in each province. The book is illustrated throughout mainly with diagrams and black-and-white photographs. The author is very well qualified, since he has been writing for some time about photography, bicycling, and camping; he is truly a triple threat. The appendices are useful: names and addresses for government tourist information, bicycling clubs, lists of equipment, and even a bibliography for further reading. All the book lacks is an index.
