Review by: DuAnne Redus on Feb. 01, 2012 :
This guide is a true resource and source of entertainment! For years I have watched people skip stones and was unable to discern the 'how to' skip.

This guide is easy and fun to read; has great illustrations and tips. Now I can go out and experiment with a chance of actually skipping stones!
