Detailed information... Hap Wilson has personally explored the rivers. (Wildlife Activist 200410)

Personally documented maps... far more information than a volume size might lead the reader to expect. (Linda Turk Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal )

Sound advice on important topics... Anyone planning a canoe trip to the areas covered by Wilson will benefit greatly. (Glenn Perrett Cottage Times )

Engaging and idiosyncratic... the clear pen-and-ink maps are full of details. (J.A. Lamont Canadian Camera )
