One of the hardest things in making a how-to book is focusing on essentials. However essential they may be to the reader-beginner, they‘re old hat to the writer, who is naturally far more interested in fascinating details, recent discoveries, personal ideas, etc. This official instruction manual book is a masterpiece of essence portrayal — the fundamental joys and fundamental techniques of soaring. One by-product is that itages comfortably into classic-hood with no need for fussy new editions all the time. Essences are stable, conservative things.
A book that makes you want to fly, moving to the moving air, quiet and alert as a hawk.
[Stewart Brand, The Next Whole Earth Catalog, p.458]
