Nicholson's Canal Guide
These guides are a must for any canal enthusiast, you don't even have to be on a boat. Clear giudes of what is around the canal and very informative on the routes you take. I have some of the old Nicholson's guides, but this updated guide has even more information and lots of coloured photographs. Why buy at Amazon? savings of well over half on RRP are why. Got my guide from Morebooks Direct via Amazon for only £5.94 amazing.
