Dave,

I haven't found the first two yet, I think they are out of print. "Bark Canoes and Skin boats of North America" does have very good info on Greenland kayaks. It doesn't have a huge amount of coverage but what it has is good quality. They kayak section moves from Alaska to East Greenland giving good detail on a surprising number of kayaks. My favorites are the South Greenland boats.
