The next step is strapping on the 'chute - By: , 18 Oct 2005 
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 - By: , 15 Feb 2005 This is the best book for anyone wanting to start paragliding. Ian Currer has improved it with each edition & the latest is bang up to date & packed with useful info, great pictures & 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 schoolsin many countries & 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 - By: R. J. Maher, 06 Apr 2000 
If you want to Paramotor, by Noel Whittal's book, Paramotoring. All of what you need to know about free flight for Paramotoring isin there including weather air law etc. The books are so similarin this regard it is almost too coincidental. The Paramotoring chapter is very lightin 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 - By: nick.ford@logical.com, 06 Dec 1999 
This book is a great reference for anyone starting outin paragliding, listing all techniques, air law & weather conditions. While not very creative or inspiring, it is a book that you keep going back to.
