Excellent Trip Planner
Nicholson Guide to the Waterways 3: Birmingham and the Heart of England (Waterways Guide). This is an excellent trip planner, with waterway details and local attractions and amenitites, well worth the modest cost new or used. While the actual maps of the canals are of such scale that details are not available for navigation, as a trip planner and general interest guide it is indispensable.
