Paddling Illinois is very well orgnized and thoughtfully laid out. It is reminiscent of the classic Wisconsin paddling guide book, "Whitewater/Quietwater" by Bob and Jody Palzer. I am a map nut and love the maps in this book. They are big, uncluttered, and easy to read. This book is chocked full of useful info. Be sure to check out the "Introduction" and "Appendixes". I found myself flipping through the book, reading the side bars that accompany many of the trip descriptions. They're great. If you paddle in Illinois, or plan to paddle here, buy this book. It's the best paddling guide book available for Illinois, and worth every penny!
