I have a boyfriend who enjoys building boats very much, and I'm
interested in purchasing a nice boat building book for his upcoming
birthday. Can anybody suggest a book regarding boat building that he
would like?

I think Sam Devlin's "Devlin's Boat Building", ISBN 0-07-157990-7, is
a good one ... he has a great chapter on model making to test out hull
shapes for plywood boats, and shows several of his large stitch and
glue style boats.
