 The Wax guide.Aug 24, 2000
By Kelly Squires
This is really the only waxing book for serious skiers. Perhaps a bit much for a novice. Given evolving waxing technology the reader will have to also read the latest wax company literature to stay up to date.

 Complete but lackingOct 18, 2001
It's a good book but it assumes you now the basics of ski waxing. I was trying to obtain a book to learn how to wax skis,and I am still looking. It's worth buying for the advanced procedures covered but you will have to find another book to learn how to "wax skis".

 Great book of ski preparationFeb 11, 2001
By Marko Gracer, Former Head Coach, Slovenia
The book is for all people in cross country skiing, not only for trainers, also for competitors, for every serviceman and for all amateurs. Only someone who has such a experiances from his work can write a book with knowledge for all. Or like Peter Hale wrote:" Since few skiers can just walk into a World cup or Olympic waxroom to see what's going on, this book is the next best think." I think that all we working in CC skiing can say just:" Thank you Nat for such a great present!" It's the best practical book of cross country skiing I've ever read.

Excellent book. Must read if you are serious about waxing your cross-country skis (good for beginers, too).
The Book Titles Says it AllMar 11, 2006
By David Kuphal
This book gives a very complete lesson on ski prep. It is easy to read and well indexed, serving as a shelf reference when needed. The wording is descriptive enough, but for the true beginner, illustrations are lacking. If you get a chance to observe someone else actually go through the procedure of ski prep, this book will complement your lesson extremely well.
