Some good book typefaces are:

Baskerville
Bembo
Californian or Berkeley
Caslon
Century
Garamond (not ITC Garamond-- Adobe Garamond is best)
Cheltenham
Jenson
Goudy Old Style
Minion
New Century Schoolbook
Palatino
Sabon
Stone Serif

For a canoeing/kayaking guidebook I would lean toward Stone Serif,
Minion, or even Stone Informal (a more 'friendly' variant of Stone
Serif).

Some good sans serif typefaces for heads etc.
Franklin Gothic
Gill Sans
Antique Olive
Syntax
Officina Sans
Frutiger
Optima
Stone Sans
Myriad

For your project, if you use Stone Serif or Informal, then Stone Sans
will work best as it has the same design considerations and rhythms as
the serif font.

Minion works extremely well with Frutiger and Myriad

You might want to set a few paragraphs with each of the fonts (and
others as well) to get a feel for how they look with your material --
then make a selection.

In general, it's best to stick with "old style" faces for the body text.
These are the ones that we are most used to seeing for text and they are
usually the easiest to read.
