Simply put, if you are interested in floating Alabama's gentler rivers and streams you must buy this book. It's a great read and resource.
That being said, it's 30+ years old and some of the roads, put-ins, and take-outs have changed. That's one reason I'm updating this blog, because as we found on the Locust Fork Section 6, the take-out now has plenty of parking whereas back when this book was written, it had very little.
I will be referring to this book a lot on this blog, especially as regards section numbers/names.
Paddlers group navigable streams into sections, typically sections delineated by access points. It's more important than I can express that you put on the correct sections for what you're trying to do... for instance the Locust Fork has two whitewater sections that can be awesome fun for a whitewater boater but would be hazardous in flatwater craft.
