The only book you need on paragliding,
By
This review is from: Art of Paragliding: Learning Paragliding Skills for Beginner to Intermediate Pilots (Paperback)
In short: Dennis Pagen has written THE book on paragliding for beginners to intermediate pilots. This book covers it all. Clearly illustrated, easy to read. I use this book as a 'refresher' each season before I begin flying. He covers all the nuts and bolts of the various topics that make up paragliding, from how to hook your risers to your harness to how to ridge soar. I have read most of the books out there on paragliging, and this one covers more than all the others combined. If you are a serious paraglider pilot who wants a good manual for refreshing, or prospective pilot who wants to learn all you can before you begin lessons, this is THE book to buy.

The best intro and reference on paragliding,
By Wolfgang Stiller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Art of Paragliding: Learning Paragliding Skills for Beginner to Intermediate Pilots (Paperback)
I have read all the books available here on Amazon on that were published in the last ten years (and a few older ones) and this is clearly the best. If I could own only one book this is the one. It clearly explains the nuts and bolts of paragliding with excellent text and illustrations. All the details are covered. These are typically glossed over by most of the other authors. A good example of this is the explanation on how to attach the risers to the harness for a reverse launch. I have never seen a clearer explanation.

Outstanding book on Paragliding,
By Ski Doc - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Art of Paragliding: Learning Paragliding Skills for Beginner to Intermediate Pilots (Paperback)
This is the definitive guide to flying paragliders. It is a must-read for anyone who is serious about the sport... from beginning students to advanced pilots. It covers flight techniques, weather, aerodynamics and more. This book will become the standard instructional guide for paragliding. Thoughtfully organized and easy to read. Presents difficult concepts in a stepwise fashion. Pagen's sense of humor makes reading enjoyable.
