www.britains-waterways.com: Brian Roberts has written two general books about the inland waterways in the UK. About 10% of the book content is on his web site. The books do not specialise in any one hirebase -- but show over 130 hirebases on the maps. Brian writes: "It is a specialist vacation interest -- but one which increasing number of Americans are enjoying."

I updated our page about England Canals to list these books:
