THE ULTIMATE BUCKEYE FANATIC BOOK
This is, by far, the most imaginative and compelling collection of Buckeye football trivia and memorablia around. This has provided endless hours of joy and is the PERFECT gift for any Buckeye fan. The same "vault" series is also available for Michigan and Notre Dame fans --- but why would you ever be caught buying that?!!!! GO BUCKS!!!!

Winesburg, Ohio (Signet Classics)

Sherwood Anderson

Signet Classics, 2005

Characters in a small midwest town
Stories in this book are all set in a small midwest town in Ohio. We all have our preconceptions about midwestern people, their attitudes, sensibilities and way of life. Author digs deep into their lives and psyche. By the time you finish this book, you will pretty much know about every member of this small community. People we learn about are lonely, damaged, with no prospects. They are ...

An absolute joy of a read!
I typically enjoy fiction, but the title of this book caught my attention. And soon after starting the book, Evelyn Ryan became one of my heroes! I won't offer any spoilers, but the book generated within me, and many others who have read it, genuine feelings for Evelyn, including respect, compassion, sympathy, and encouragement. If the measure of a good story is the ability to arouse that many ...

A must-have for all Ohio elementary libraries
Beautiful illustrations with varied reading levels. Each letter depicts a different aspect of Ohio history. For example, "W is for Wright Brothers." With so little written about Ohio history, it is nice to find one not only done but done well.

Great fun
I have had this book for 2 years and I am always looking in it every time I see a different bird in my yard. We have woods behind our home so I am always seeing something new! This book tells it all.

Winesburg, Ohio (Oxford World's Classics)

Sherwood Anderson

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

Lives lost in the dark.
Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio" tells the story of lives lost in the dark. The citizens of Anderson's fictional Winesburg all harbor mysterious secrets and are internally conflicted. In a series of vignettes that do not follow a chronological timeframe, tragic lives full of lonliness, longing and regret are delineated in plain prose. One man, George Willard, stands out above the rest of ...

Like Dreiser, Anderson Depicts What Happens to Real People in Real America [24]
This is one of those books which juxtaposes stereotypes with realities. This is an amazingly well written book delivered in amazingly clever style. The book is about the good life in the small town of Winesburg, where the good life is not so good for all of the folks. The warm and fuzzy people in Winesburg can be as cold and abrasive as the city folk. Young lovers in Winesburg can grow to ...

Sherwood Anderson, Ray Lewis White

W. W. Norton, 1995

Stories that interrelate in surprising, often brilliant ways
When I discovered this book, I was already writing a story cycle of my own, The Acorn Stories. Winesburg, Ohio became a strong influence on that book, and also led me to write New Readings of Winesburg, Ohio. In Sherwood Anderson's acclaimed story cycle, a small town finds itself entering the twentieth century with loneliness and confusion. The same industrialism that Anderson would explore so ...

Ohio maps
This whole series is great if you love to get off the main highways to really see a state. The back roads are well mapped as are sights to see and topographical features.

Adventure Publications(MN), 2000

One of my favorites
I've owned this book since I started cycling 3 years ago and I've purchased it for friends who ride. It's a great book for anyone who rides rail trails. It gives locations, conditions, attractions in the area and much more useful information. Because this book is rail trails or bike/hike trails there is no elevation information needed as all trails are generaly level with very slow grade of ...

Wildflowers of Ohio Field Guide (Field Guides)

Adventure Publications, 2001

Terrific, very kid-friendly!
I bought this and the Henn "Wildflowers of Ohio" for my little girl, now 4. She enjoys them both, but I think the format of this book is more user-friend for a small child as there is only one flower on each page and the picture is large. I have found one flower so far that was not in Tekiela's book but was in Henn's, so you might want to get both. Henn's book does not stay open as easily, so ...

My primary reference for area wildflowers
This is the first book I pick up when identifying wildflowers of Ohio. The information is complete and entertaining, as well, with interesting notations regarding the history of many of the plants. The beautiful photos make it easy to recognize most of the flowers in the field immediately. I recommend this book as a useful and enjoyable way to learn about regional wildflowers.

Good hikes, but check the map
I really enjoyed this book. I have taken many of these hikes and they fit the descriptions. I was hoping to find the best hikes for my area (northwest Ohio), but there were not many around here. Check the map before you buy to make sure there are hikes in the region you hope to frequent. I should have known there would be few hikes in this area, just given the area and that I could not find ...

Descent field ID and it fits in your back pocket!
I have almost broke the entire spine from use, and this is definitely one of the best small pocket field ID guides I've ever had for Ohio flora. While there are definitely problems with it (lack of details, diversity of species) it is one I would recommend any serious outdoor person check out. I always keep it in my hiking pack along with the Woods Plants and Shrubs of SE Ohio and Lucy Braun's ...

An expert gardener right at your fingertips!
If your grandma were an expert gardener, this is like having all her advice right in one place. I have used this inexpensive, thorough gardening book much more than my expensive hardcover gardening books. This book is great for a novice gardener, and also for more experienced gardeners. He gives a full 2-pages for each plant, telling where to plant, when to trim, when to plant, ...
