This book tells you all that you can learn from a book about paragliding. After the book, doing it is the only thing left.

Touching Cloudbase The Complete Guide to Paragliding (4th ed
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This is the best book for anyone wanting to start paragliding. Ian Currer has improved it with each edition and the latest is bang up to date and packed with useful info, great pictures and illustrations. I know Ian, so this might be a bit biased, but the BHPA magazine Skywings said "It is possible to learn Paragliding without Touching Cloudbase, but is hard to imagine whay anyone would want to try". This book is also used as a course text book by paragliding schools in many countries and has useful revision info for all the UK pilot rating system exams. (Much of which Ian also wrote I think).

Not for those wishing to Paramotor
 Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
If you want to Paramotor, by Noel Whittal's book, Paramotoring. All of what you need to know about free flight for Paramotoring is in there including weather air law etc. The books are so similar in this regard it is almost too coincidental. The Paramotoring chapter is very light in this book.

A very good book for free flight however. I have rated the book from a Paramotoring position. For just Paragliding I would give it 4 stars.


The Bible for paragliding students
 Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
This book is a great reference for anyone starting out in paragliding, listing all techniques, air law and weather conditions. While not very creative or inspiring, it is a book that you keep going back to.

Day one to Regular flyer, forget the other books!
