In addition to those already mentioned, here are a few I've enjoyed:

Sierra Sierra by John Joss
Exploring the Monster by Robert F. Whelan
Soaring Beyond the Clouds by Bertha Ryan
Soaring by Peter Dixon
Stalking the Mountain Wave by Ursula Weis

Another which was extremely educational and I cannot remember the title or find it on my shelf is the anthology of the Soaring Symposium lectures.

That's 'cause you loaned it to a buddy a couple years ago who still has it. You can have it back after I read it again :-).

Kronfeld's are there too. These books are just one of Wally Kahn's many legacies.

I also have the '69-'72 Proceedings of the Soaring Symposia, and the Soaring Cross Country, all printed.

At the rate I read I will be busy for awhile.
