Frugal Yachting: Family Adventuring in Small Sailboats

9 reviews
Larry Brown

International Marine Publishing, 1994

Legendary
This book should really be called "Why small boats are more fun!" Brown sagely observes that (1) most sailboats are daysailed, which means most of the sailor's time is spent in the cockpit; (2) a trailerable boat costs a lot less over the years than a boat in a slip, and (3) the simpler a boat is to rig and miantain, the more time you spend actually sailing. Any sailor is familiar with the ...

Faulkner?s World: The Photographs of Martin J. Dain

University Press of Mississippi, 1997

An amazing visual account of the life of Oxford Mississippi
There has been very few times in the past that I have ever considered buying a coffee table book, most in my opinion just collect dust. This book however is a wonderful pictorial account of Oxford Mississippi during the time when Faulkner still walked our streets. What I think is amazing is that some of the people pictured in this book as children still live in Oxford and are still an ...

Larry K. Brown

High Plains Press, 2002

Terrific tales told by a top-notch storyteller and writer
I have learned to look for Larry Brown's works, and developed admiration for his ability to ferret out fascinating, little-known (till now) stories about the Old West. Once again, his research is unbeatable, and ability to weave the research into great -- and fun -- reading makes this the kind of book that makes you want more - more - more!

Before The Lark

Blue Heron Publishing, 1992

A diamond in the rough
I was very, very, woefully sorry to find out that the original edition of Before the Lark was out of print and the only edition of the book is in large print. Furthermore, it was sad to know that the sales rank was so low. This really is a great book. I got this book from a school book sale and didn't read it until five years after I purchased it. The story is about a girl named Jocey ...

Excellent read ...
Larry Brown came as a recommendation from another writer I admire (Vicki Hendricks) ... then it was seconded by Steven Sidor ... and my advice is to listen to what those two have to say about good books. Joe is wonderful stuff and Larry Brown was a wonderful writer. I'm ordering Faye today (after saving this). Larry Brown, like William Faulker, Daniel Woodrell and two writers mentioned above, ...

Larry Brown

Random House Value Publishing, 1994

A masterpiece
This is an inspiring collection of shorts by Larry Brown. Rarely does he follow the typical short story plot curve, but the twists of events and dialog make this a real text in the art of short fiction. Mr. Brown reminds us of Carver, Bukowski and the rest of the "time to get out of Dodge in into the bar" great writers of recent times. An enjoyable read while sitting on a cooler, watching the ...

A most personal, touching story about the tragedy of war

excellent book
this is one of the best books i have read on understanding the importance of acid alkaline balance inside the body. The author doesn't overwhelm you with information, and puts everything in easy to understand terms. I especially love the last section of the book, which lists hundreds of foods and whether they are acid or alkaline forming inside the body. I have learned alot from this book. I ...

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2002

Great book and CD
Having been through several jazz instruction books, this is by far the best. It runs its solo lines over complex chords- the kind you hear the better players actually playing over. It explains the concept behind the lines before giving them. This way, not only will the lines stick better, but you will have the background material to build your own lines. It is not a beginner book, but even a ...
