[Tanya · Rating 1 out of 5]

I love all things HMCS Haida, but this book is little more than a photo souvenir. Perhaps I shouldn't rate it so low if that is what you are looking for, but I have been on the Haida multiple times, and most of the pictures in this book are just tourist photos. There is very little in the book information wise. A number of times I had questions based on the descriptions but there isn't any follow up. If you want souvenir photos, this is for you (although I'd suggest that you just go down to Hamilton and have a tour), but if you are looking for substance, skip this one.
