Thought that Rosy Cheeks was still a rough draft, pending completion?;)
you forgot "Basic Locksmithing - what to do when your key doesnt fit the front door after buying a derelict" , with a foward by Chris Pearson.:D
 
You forgot the classic

You forgot the classic: "Portages I Have Loved and Known", by Steve Lapey.:D
 
Great list LOL LOL :):):):)....I'd add the famous Canuck tome Sex In A Cedar Canvas Canoe: The Definition Of A Canadian (Or How To Make Love In A Canoe Like A Canadian Without Being Thwarted....Honest I Wouldn't Rib You)....the story of a wood canvas canoe collector in the North woods (perhaps Andre???? LOL LOL), searching for love (or that special wood canoe)....without being thwarted....he's just gunnel have to take whatever he finds....this story is a real keel-er....honest I wouldn't rib you....with every stroke of the writer's pen, this is sure to be a real page turn-er....OK OK don't be stern with me....I'll bow out at that....BTW please forgive the play on words but I have a weakness for Wipperisms (now I'm blaming Kirk for bad puns....maybe there's a need for a whole book of Wipperisms....but then that would be a whole different story LOL LOL).
