I Say Me For A Parable Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a book that has stayed with me long after I read it. Mance has a way of speaking very directly and has a storytellers flare for keeping his narratives interesting. I picked it up as a book on the blues but I remember it as a rare frank and fascinating conversation with a man from a very different...

Rev. Gary Davis/Blues Guitar (Country Blues Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Fans of fingerstyle guitar will love this CD and the book of transcriptions. Rev. Gary Davis has a distinctive style of playing and singing and is a very (VERY) good guitarist. Be warned that the transcriptions are quite challenging--there are some lengthy ragtime instrumental pieces. A better book for...

Buried Treasures of California Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I started reading this book and could not put it down. Perhaps for me this book was something very special that it may not be to all. I travel the hills of California on a regular basis, in search of treasure, or just the opportunity to pretend that I am that forty-niner in 1877 digging around in a cold,...

The Hanging of Molly Klover Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is very well done. Though it is fiction it keeps me reminded of the extreme hardships faced by the people, due to the lawlessness of the era. One wrong move, make someone angry or in this case be in the wrong place at the most inopportune time could cost you your life. I fell in love with the...

The Castles of the Assassins Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed reading this book as it was a lively tale of interesting travels in Iran and the experiences involved. However, the author is not an authority on the Assassins, or for that matter, Iranian/Persian history. Therefore if you really want to find out in detail about the history of Assassins,...

Gladys Aylward (Women of Faith) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a spellbinding adventure. I read this book in one night. You couldn't make up the stuff this young Brit did.
