Hunger Hill Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I usually choose to read historical fiction romance and rarely stray to more contemporary eras, however this book was recommended and from the first page I was captured.

Stingray : The Lethal Tactics of the Sole Survivor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)To read this sort of stuff, you really have to be a "Survivor" junkie, and I qualify.

Moon Handbooks: Southern California 2 Ed: Including Greater Lost Angeles, Disneyland, San Diego, Death Valley, and other Desert Parks Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have lived in CA for the last 20 years. With this book I have found and explored many places that I had never heard of before.

Rediscovering Vinland: Evidence of Ancient Viking Presence in America Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Fred Brown has done his homework. I wish his editor had done as well. His arguments regarding the Viking voyages have the solid feel of someone who had walked the land and sailed the seas in question. I think. I say that I think this is so because he jumps all over the place both geographically and temporally....

Small Surrenders Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Porter and Thomas won my heart and the surprise ending almost broke it! References to Atlanta landmarks and the University of Virginia were familiar territory and made the characters that more real to me. It was an inspiring story of courage and forgiveness with emotional twists and turns that left me...

Best Vermont Drives: 14 Tours in the Green Mountain State Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a great book! It's just a shame that they forgot to mention The Barnstead Inn in Manchester Center! It is located in the center of town and sits back from the road just enough to help you forget that you are anywhere near town. Like I said the book is great! But do yourself a favor and do not...

The New York Times Guide to Unforgettable Weekends Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book could have been a rescue tube in this heavily urbanized east coast. It puts out pretty nice collection of things you can do in weekends, places you can go and experience you can have. I'm pretty outgoing and am aware of "secret gems" in this area but I still found few more gems like Hot Ballooning...

Capt. Nat Herreshoff: The Wizard of Bristol : The Life and Achievements of Natanael Greene Herreshoff, Together With an Account of Some of the Yachts He Designed Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book gives a very good overall story of the designs N.G. created and also tells the story of the Herreshoff Mfg. Co. Part of me wishes the book went into more detail on some of the designs but that book would be ten times as large. Overall this book presents Captn. Nat's live from beginning to end...
