The Packraft Handbook: An instructional guide for the Curious, written by Luc Mehl and illustrated by Sarah K. Glaser.

This guide is a complete book for anyone interested in packrafting and wanting to learn the technique and safety.

This guide will be useful for beginners so that they can equip themselves and use their boat correctly, but also for experts who want to review the basics.

The illustrations are very clear and the multitude of photographs make it easy to understand the message. The text is in English and very clear.
