Alot of good info for how to use one of his tarps. He leaves a couple of pieces of info out, intentionally I believe, in order to get you to order one of his tarps. I didn't want to put the thing together though, so I didn't. Anyways, if you are interesting in sleeping under a tarp, this book would be very useful. Alot of what he writes about translates to tarps that aren't exactly like his.

This is the bible of tarp sheltering for backpacking. This book had been out of print for many years and is now available again in a newly revised edition.

Specialized, but does well for what it is. Lots of tips, e.g. how to seam seal the tarp, how to do tie outs.
