     Grand & Glorious: Classic Boats of Lake Geneva, a must for all boating enthusiasts, is a spectacular photographic journey to one of North America's premier boating destinations. This beautiful book features both antique boats and exceptional modern watercrafts, many of which have never before been pictured or written about. In this gorgeous work, Larry Larkin features boats that are special to Lake Geneva, profiles the people who are involved with the boats, and depicts the lifestyle in which the boats are used. He includes photographs of each boat in a portrait setting and includes details of what makes each special, which are augmented by numerous quotes from the boat owners. One-of-a-kinds, rare surviving models, elegant runabouts, sleek speedboats, locally manufactured serial production boats, gentlemen's launches, unique Lake Geneva steamboats and yachts, sailboats belonging to Olympic Medal winners, World Champions and America's Cup sailors, the region's famed ice boats, and even a privately owned submarine are all shown as they zip, rumble, flap or float past the graceful cottages and spectacular mansions of Lake Geneva.
