I'm the Canadian dealer for this very good gliding book, and I did the design and layout for the author, Bernard Eckey. It has 432 pages, 187 illustrations and 176 photographs, and has been updated and extended with new topics (for example, have you ever heard of climbing in an atmospheric hydraulic jump?). It is available for $US62 plus mailing (variable depending on your ZIP code, averaging about $15-$20).
