I recently started Cross country skiing and I purchased this book. I found it very helpful and informative. Anyone just starting cross country skiing should buy it. It has many great pictures and diagrams that help in learning different techniques.
An excellent book for the beginning cross country skier

This is an excellent book for the beginning cross country skier. The author gives a good overview of classic track skiing, skating, and backcountry skiing. I would not recommend it for somebody who has XC skied for more than one or two years. For those who would like to begin and have no idea where to start, this is the book for you.
