Good book worth every penny
This is a very interesting, informative and entertaining book. I live on the northern edge of the catskills and have fished many of the places mentioned. I really enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to anyone who loves trout fishing.

It Happened in the Catskills

Engaging Book Is Nearly As Fun As The Era It Celebrates
While working at the Nevele Country Club, one of the many legendary Catskill resorts covered in this magnificent document, I briefly met Myrna and Harvey Frommer while doing their research. They probably don't remember me, I was too young at the time to offer the kind of history they were looking for, but the pair's enthusiasm and obvious love for the area's resorts and their unique (now long ...

The Upside-Down Kingdom

Upside Down? Yes... Upside Down!
I will never forget the confused look I received from the audience when I said, "The Kingdom of God is Upside-Down." This revealed to me that many Christians probably have not given a lot of thought to the Kingdom of God. If the Body of Christ fully understood this Kingdom... I don't think she would squinch her eyes at the words "Upside Down." And I certainly don't believe we would be giving in ...

Catskills Country Style

Rizzoli Universe Promotional Books, 2006

Another photog feast of architectural gems from this pair!
Steve Gross and Sue Daley have been dazzling the oft-oversaturated "coffee table" book market since their unusual and eclectic book OLD HOUSES was published more than a decade ago. Unlike many photographic books of this genre--or photographers for that matter--Gross + Daley look for the unusual, the misplaced, the forgotten, even the sublime. Their photographic style, while crisp, is voyeuristic ...

Mercury Press, 1996

Heartwarming stories...
This book is a wonderful collection of stories (based on true fact) which illuminate the young life of the author and his companions in a small town in the Catskills. Great for children of all ages (and adults!), the adventures of Buzzy and the River Rats intrigue and delight. Buy it for your kid's collection!

Christian Liturgy: Catholic and Evangelical

5 reviews
Frank C. Senn

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1997

Senn will rapidly become the standard for the field.
Phrases such as "exhaustively researched," "brilliantly argued," and "magisterial treatment" are overused. Nevertheless, these phrases are simply descriptive of Senn's CHRISTIAN LITURGY. Senn presents chapters on "The Repertoire of Rites" (informed by, but not merely a re-hash of, Eliade and Douglas) and "The Incarnational Reality of Christian Liturgy." Part One: "From Meal to Mass" takes ...

Black Dome Press, 2000

A great guide
I was going on a hike with some friends into the Catskills and they recommended this book. They were right on to tell me about this. I really liked the detail and the maps. It made more out of the hiking than I usually get. It is well written and easy to use. I think it would be a good book for anyone going to the Catskills.

Francine Silverman

Hunter Publishing (NJ), 2000

A must
As in previous guides by this author, information is arranged according to specific areas of the Catskills. Highlights of Sullivan, Ulster, Greene, and Delaware counties are listed systematically in helpful fashion. Anything travelers or tourists could possibly want or need to know about the Catskills has been researched by the author. In a style that feels like reminiscing with an old ...

Videofreex: America's First Pirate TV Station & the Catskills Collective That Turned It on

3 reviews
Parry D. Teasdale

Black Dome Press, 1999

Itýs definitely worth reading.
Videofreex's subtitle is "America's First Pirate TV Station and the Catskills Collective That Turned It On" a phrase that better describes the intriguing slice of counter-cultural history documented in this book. The author, Parry Teasdale, along with his wife Carol Vontobel, were among the dozen or so core members of Videofreex, and so this is very much an insider's tale. And what a tale it ...

Slow Down While At Home
What a perfect title for Barbara Bash's beautiful book. True Nature is what she got in touch with on her solitary retreats--her own true nature and nature which included birds, animals, fish, plants, trees, and weather conditions around her. Reading the book offered me a retreat of slowing down while still at home. Bash went to a cabin in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York for a week ...

From Albuq. New Mexico, who wants to follow this guide
I live in NM and will move to upstate NY some day. My son and wife have a home in Windham, and I want to explore all the area and, hopefully, sometime meet Ms. Katz. Have taken watercolor - I like her method of combining it with other media.

Alf Evers

Doubleday, 1972

Rollicking History of the Catskills
I purchased this book in 1973 for my Father, who was born and raised in Kingston, New York. Evers' book is a masterpiece-a popularized history of the Catskills, from the days of the Hardenburgh Patent(early 1700s) up to the time of Woodstock(1969 and immediately after). It is a history which presents the facts, but never loses touch with the human dimension. It is also serious enough to ...

Top notch guide to New York peaks!
This is an excellent guide to hiking the highest peaks in the 62 counties of New York State. The author Gary Fallesen started his quest thinking it would take a few months. As he searched for the highest natural peaks county by county he discovered that in many cases the information was not known!

Mark S. Smith

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2004

Collective Memory and Collective Amnesia
Mark Smith writes in this book that the Hebrew Bible contains both the collective memory of ancient Israel and the collective amnesia. The first two chapters are representations of Israel's past in the Bible. This discussion begins about 1200 BCE and ends about the beginning of the Persian Period. The Dead Sea Scrolls get mentioned as examples of the longevity of ideas. The biblical history prior ...

Sylvia's Farm
I enjoyed this book very much. It's very easy to imagine meeting all the animals on the farm because the author describes their personalities in such detail. I went to school nearby and the descriptions of the weather and terrain brought back memories. The essays are more than just another new farmer tale. They are smoothly written and tightly constructed. Some describe the sad or profound ...

Heartbreaking
Molly O'Keefe's stories always make me laugh and cry. She writes emotional scenes, particularly those about family relationships, better than any other writer of series fiction. Loved this book. Can't wait for A Man Worth Keeping.
