Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs
My husband and I both read this book and really enjoyed reading the stories of these brothers. We have watched this show many times and still enjoyed this book and excited about what would be on the next page. We learned things about crab fishing that you don't see while watching the show. It was one of those books we could not put down. We would purchase this book again.

Night of the Crabs6 reviews
Guy N. Smith

Dell, 1989

Pre-eminent literature
The Night of the Crabs is an unsurpassed masterpiece written by a worthy preceptor to anyone with a penchant for penning perverse excellence. I last read this novel several years ago and only recently have I recognised its genius; how it has haunted me in the interim. Like 'Moby Dick' and 'Arnie the Darling Starling' we are confronted with an edifying treatise on its respective discipline - ...

Sallie Ann Robinson

The University of North Carolina Press, 2003

Purchased as a gift.
This was the perfect gift for my sister who lived on Dafuskie island for several years. She personally knew Sallie Ann and was sad to leave her east coast home and the lovely people she met there. The book brought back memories of a delightful period in her life.

How to Catch Crabs: A Pacific Coast Guide4 reviews
Charlie White

Heritage House Publishing, 1998

it's all good
I make commercial crab traps for a living and this book has it all. When I mention this book to commercial crabbers most already know, they own the book! This book even talks about a ropes 'scope' when you put a trap in the water. A rookie commercial crabber I knew didn't clue into this fact and 'deadheaded' a string of thirty traps! Why a trap should be round is explained. Why a traps entrances ... 		  
  







  
  
Is This a House for Hermit Crab5 reviews
Megan McDonald

Perfection Learning Prebound, 1994

Gentle little hermit crab searches the beach for a new home.
Simple, sweet story of a little hermit crab who has outgrown his shell and crawls, "scritch, scratch," along the beach in search of a new home. He tries out a variety of items; including a tin can, which is too noisy and a plastic bucket, which is too big. He becomes entangled in a net and is chased by a pricklepine fish before he finally finds just the right home and "snuggles" in. Beautiful ... 		  
  







  
  
Seeing the Crab6 reviews
Christina Middlebrook

Anchor, 1997

Refreshing
Finally a book about living with cancer that doesn't have a saccharine, happy ending. Middlebrook writes for the large number of cancer patients who don't necessarily have great diagnoses, and who aren't well-served by the current body of literature that emphasizes good outcomes. As she writes about how other people have such a hard time even *talking* about cancer, how one's own ... 		  
  







  
  
Your Favorite...Crab Cakes! A Crankshaft collection5 reviews
Chuck Ayers, Tom Batiuk

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2002

Very funny and interesting!
I recently came across Crankshaft as it's printed in newspapers in California, rather than in my hometown. I absolutely love the comic strip, so I quickly got this. This book is excellent. I was surprised as it was published this year, but the strips in the book were created about ten years ago. The Crankshaft comic strips are similar to Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse, as both strips ... 		  
  







  
  
The Provincetown seafood cookbook5 reviews
Howard Mitcham

Hermit Crab Press, 1975

Provincetown Seafood
This is my favorite seafood cookbook of all time. The recipes are generally traditional dishes brought over to New England from Portugal. If you have access to good Atlantic stocks, like Maine shrimp, cod, squid, mackerel, and clams, this is a must have. The elegance of this book is its simplicity.

Year of the Snake (Crab Orchard Series in Poetry)5 reviews
Lee Ann Roripaugh

Southern Illinois University Press, 2004

Year of the Snake
The wonder of Year of the Snake, by Lee Ann Roripaugh, is that it participates in the continuous becoming of the world. No image is content to rest on the page, but instead consistently drives to become distinctly other. Even the metamorphosis of a mayfly becomes mythic in its urge to "emerge sleeker/ shinier, brighter, without a mouth/ to eat with, exquisite and doomed,/ driven to swarm in a ...

Consolation Miracle (Crab Orchard Series in Poetry)4 reviews
Chad Davidson

Southern Illinois University Press, 2003

Make Room, Read "Space"
If you're reading this, you have an interest in poetry, and if you have an interest in poetry, the good kind, the dynamic and moving kind, you should own this book. You'll be lucky to get a first printing. There is a sly wisdom in these poems about the things of this world as remarkable as what we find in Richard Wilbur. In fact, the lines are as well-wrought as Wilbur. Considering Davidson's ...
