Great pictures and facts

CowParade the Cows come Home West Hartford Connecticut
Ron Fox

Orange Frazer Press, 2003

In the midst of this upscale, historic village that is overflowing with fancy restaurants, chic shops and attractions that lure vacationers from around the world, home grown art began to brew in the summer of 2003. From that cauldron of creativity, over sixty fiberglass cows spilled onto the sidewalks, decorated with acrylic paints, marbles, and even terra cotta ceramics. The CowParade had made it's way home. This event in past cities around the ...

Orange Frazer Press, 2005

Beautiful book
Dr. Lepper has written the book I have been waiting for. As a new resident of Ohio, I have been working to understand my new home better, and this book answers many of the questions I have about the earliest residents of this area. I am still reading it so cannot comment on its entirety but it features gorgeous color photographs, helpful maps, and a text accessible to the lay (as in ...

James H. Bissland

Orange Frazer Press, 2007

A real treasure!
This is a superb, work -- in league with the best historical writers of our day in both substance and style. Bissland has done his homework in crafting a spell-binding glimpse of Ohio's significant role in the Civil War. I found his character descriptions to be most insightful and colorful. The depictions of Grant, Steedman, Rosecrans, and John Brown were especially riveting. His short ...

Orange Frazer Press, 2006

another great book
I really appreciate what mark stang does. Culling from wire photos, collectors and the hall of fame, Stang builds a great photo history of players and teams. He manages to focus on players who are not famous, and photos not often seen. His books are invaluable to anyone who collects vintage baseball material.

Ralph couldn't help but live a life that turned a hardscrabble kid from Northern, KY into a Lebanon, OH, businessman and power player. His career took him to the heights of the Empire State Building, and into every home in America where he improved refrigerators, stoves, ...

A Place Called Home: The People and Landscape of Clinton County, Ohio

Orange Frazer Press, 2006

The photographers of the Clinton County project--there were nearly twenty of them--did not work quickly; they studied the lay of the land, met people, drove the streets and alleys of every community, and knocked on several hundred doors. More than two years, countless miles, and several thousand images later, the result is A Place Called Home. One of the most ambitious photographic projects ever compiled in Ohio, it arose as idea ...

Grand Eccentrics: Turning the Century : Dayton and the Inventing of America (Ohio)

Mark Bernstein

Orange Frazer Press, 1996

Muscular Prose
After reading the other two reviews of this book, the other reviewers appear to be "history buffs". Which is fine, only they've missed the most extraordinary element of Mr. Bernstein's writing--his sure-footed, muscular prose. Bernstein's ear is pitch-perfect: his sentences and thoughts link with the surety of railcars in motion--and he takes you on a hell of a ride. The characters he has written ...

Zero to Sixty in Nine Years

J. Paul Brophy

Orange Frazer Press, 2005

Professionally & Personally Inspiring
I've found myself citing the messages of Zero to Sixty in Nine Years to friends and business colleagues alike. The messages of this book transcend that ever elusive "Work-Life balance", applying effectively at the office and at home. The topics of living life with purpose, balancing "living in the moment" vs. "living for tomorrow", and creating or reacting to change are reinforced on both ends ...
