Jeffrey Buckner Ford

Cumberland House Publishing, 2008

What a surprise!
The Tennessee Ford Shows were regular viewing events around our home when I was growing up (the day time shows and the history making night time show) in smalltown Circleville, Ohio. Ernie's shows represented the tops in tasteful entertainment for the entire family...and we especially enjoyed the courage it took for him to go against network brass, record executives and sponsors to make it ...

Robert C. Gallagher

Bartleby Pr, 2008

The REAL Story of Ernie Davis
The Elmira Express (on which the movie, The Express, is based) may not be the most literary piece of work ever written, but it the real story of Ernie Davis' legacy. The movie may make for good "family viewing", but this book explains the TRUE story of just how brave, unselfish and caring this young man was, right up until his death. The book explains the indepth accounts of not only Ernie Davis' ...

Ernie Pyle

Bison Books, 2001

A wonderful book
I'm a french reader and I discovered Ernie Pyle through an excerpt of Brave Men published in a french newspaper. Obviously, this man was a great reporter! I was looking for Brave Men in a French edition but it seems to be impossible to find it, what a pity !. I was very happy to find it on Amazon.com. I think that this book is far above all the films or novels you could read on this subject. ...

Chronicle Books, 2001

A delightful favorite and a must for any cat lover
This little book is a personal favorite. After spotting it at a bookstore a couple of years ago, I've given it as a gift to several friends and family and all of them have loved it too. The book shows its star -- Ernie the cat -- in a variety of poses: being playful with the author, fighting with another cat, yawning, stretching, sleeping, growling, chasing bugs, perched on the fridge, ...

Magination Press, 2006

A Classic in Every Sense
Teresa and Whitney Martin have given parents a book that is not only an artistic masterpiece, but a wonderful teaching tool. The writing is simple and direct, but has a subtely of humor and detail that makes the characters come alive and delivers a strong emotional impact. As for the illustrations, I can't say enough about the vivid, painterly style, the exciting compositions, and the ...

Citadel, 2008

"I've had quite a run."
"Ernie" is ninety-one year old Ernest Borgnine's lighthearted account of his more than five decades on the stage, in film, and on television. What has sustained this versatile character actor in a business that often grinds people down is the strong "old-fashioned work ethic" that he inherited from his Italian immigrant parents. Borgnine boasts that he has appeared in quite a few of the "100 ...

Ernie Pyle in England

Ernie Pyle

Robert M. McBride & Co,., 1945

Ernie Pyle never fails
And here's yet another book ("Ernie Pyle In England") that's long out of print, which should be featured in every bookstore in America. Why is it that we set aside so much of what is great, and hang on to so much of what is trite? But at least, thanks to the Internet, this book is available to order used, which I did, and for which I am very grateful and glad. Ernie Pyle was a roving newspaper ...

A Must Read for anyone interested in the Dog Face!
