The most comprehensive book about dories ever published, this is at once a history of the dory, a practical handbook on dory building, and a compendium of 23 dory designs with full construction details. The author, a longtime contributor to National Fisherman , and the illustrator, Sam Manning, are perhaps the foremost experts on the subject. A steady stream of letters and photographs to the late John Gardner from successful dory builders worldwide has been testimony to the widespread popularity and influence of this book.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781493068319","publication_date":"20220615","publisher":"Globe Pequot Publishing","slug":"the-dory-book","subtitle":"","title":"The Dory Book"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"TRA006020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Ship Photo Books","score":0.7646,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TRA006030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Ship Repair & Maintenance","score":0.7445,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TRA006010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Maritime History","score":0.7185,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"TRA006020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Ship Photo Books","score":0.7646,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TRA006030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Ship Repair & Maintenance","score":0.7445,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TRA006010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Maritime History","score":0.7185,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"SPO036000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sailing","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"TRA006010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Maritime History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"TRA006020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Ship Photo Books","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Ship Photo Books","score":0.7646,"slug":"ship-photo-books"},{"label":"Ship Repair & Maintenance","score":0.7445,"slug":"ship-repair-maintenance"},{"label":"Maritime History","score":0.7185,"slug":"maritime-history"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in building dories and studying their designs"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Byron Barton"],"book_id":"9780694011650","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780694011650.jpg?v=93b481480c660299","score":0.6939,"title":"Boats Board Book","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780694011650"},{"authors":["Randall de Sève"],"book_id":"9780399167973","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780399167973.jpg?v=1f494ffcdd18d453","score":0.6635,"title":"Toy Boat","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780399167973"},{"authors":["Jarrett Pumphrey","Jerome Pumphrey"],"book_id":"9781324005179","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781324005179.jpg?v=dfcde8e3e2eae4a7","score":0.6574,"title":"The Old Boat","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781324005179"},{"authors":["Tony Mitton","Ant Parker"],"book_id":"9780753474167","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780753474167.jpg?v=5ccc683fb05c1b1f","score":0.6511,"title":"Busy Boats","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780753474167"},{"authors":["Jeanne Walker Harvey"],"book_id":"9781944903336","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781944903336.jpg?v=eaa09fef1f595a87","score":0.6487,"title":"Boats on the Bay","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781944903336"},{"authors":["Hervey Garrett Smith"],"book_id":"9780486264400","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780486264400.jpg?v=70b7b3ac89e83789","score":0.6484,"title":"The Arts of the Sailor","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780486264400"}],"topics":[],"what_you_get":["Themes: Dory history, Dory construction, Dory designs.","Reading lane: Ship Photo Books and Ship Repair & Maintenance.","Publisher: Globe Pequot Publishing."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in building dories and studying their designs"],"themes":["Dory history","Dory construction","Dory designs"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":87,"goodreads_ratings_count":24,"goodreads_reviews_count":3,"quality_score":0.8546}}
