I first met Panayiotis Kaniamos in 1998 on one of my numerous trips to Greece. I
was immediately struck by his love of paragliding and his determination to share
his extensive knowledge of the sport with his fellow pilots. He soon showed the
Greek version of Pocket Aviation to me. Even with my limited knowledge of the
Greek language, I immediately could see the quality of the book and the
professionalism of the layout and illustrations. It appeared that Panayiotis had
come up with a good book that his countrymen could use as a learning (and
teaching) tool.
When Panayiotis introduced the idea of an English translation of his book and a
companion CD, I was happy to see that he wished to expand on the reach of this
product through a different language and the widespread CD media. We jumped at
the chance to publish it and bring it to a wider audience. Panayiotis’unique
perspective and his extensive research combine to render this book one of the
best introduction book to the beautiful sport of paragliding.
I wish you all the best in your quest for adventure in the air. With safety in
mind and this book-CD set as a guide, you are sure to expand your horizons.
