Beyond the Courthouse: Tales of Lawyers and Lawyering
Peter Langrock

Paul S. Eriksson, 1999

This is a charming and amusing history of contemporary Vermont told through stories about legal cases, some well known and others more obscure, that reveal the conflicts and dilemmas faced by its citizens and by their lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. These stories range in tone and mood from sad to hilarious. Included is the story of the milk strike of 1941, during which a deputy sheriff was killed. Another tale relates the conflagration that ...

The Headmaster's Wife
Richard A. Hawley

Paul S. Eriksson, 2000

Margaret Greeve is an outwardly accomplished and finished person: a wit, an intellectual, and the wife of the headmaster of a well-established boarding school for boys. She dwells in elegantly appointed rooms and summers on Cape Cod, cruising the piney coves of the Northeast. Through a lifetime of deep reading and acute observing, she has encountered blinding instances of beauty and meaning, but nothing really prepared her for the grip of a ...

The Headmaster's Papers: A Novel

2 reviews
Richard Hawley

Paul S. Eriksson, 2002

Poignant and lovely
This is an epistolary novel, which means that it is composed entirely of a series of letters. It's told from the point of view of boys' school headmaster John Greeve, who writes letters to family, friends, colleagues, and the parents of students over the course of one school year. Letters from John provide an interesting point of view. Events can only be described as he writes about them to ...

Steal This Plot: A Writer's Guide to Story Structure and Plagiarism

June Noble, William Noble

Paul S Eriksson, 1991

Well written, interesting, guide
Steal this plot isn't about stealing, its about borrowing ideas from popular fiction to create new stories. This is an older book, with an unremarkable cover that you can probably find only used, but its well worth tracking down if you can find a copy. I like the authors' breakdown of primary plot line and story 'spicer's (an interesting concept I think I will want to use), and the examples the ...

Boys Will Be Men: Masculinity in Troubled Times

Richard A. Hawley

Paul S. Eriksson, 1993

A breath of fresh air for a change
To those who think that Robert Bly had something going, but somehow got it all wrong; to those who have trouble getting in touch with their, "feminine side" but are not about to degenerate into redneck imbecility; and to those who just like a good story that will evoke many memories, this book is a pleasant surprise. Told from the point of view of a philosophy teacher at an all boys' prep school, ...

Growing Up Small: A Handbook for Short People
Kate Gilbert Phifer

Paul S. Eriksson, 1979

Scott Lax

Paul S. Eriksson, 1998

Worth the read!
If you're looking for a book that attacks the reality of life in 1969, 1970, and 1971 with young people vs. the draft, then this is the perfect book. The characters are well thought out, the dialouge is superbly written, the format is unique and eye catching keeping the reader interested, and the storyline hits home. Love, war, family, friendship, politics--all add to the colorful mosaic that ...

John Ransom's Andersonville Diary

17 reviews
John L. Ransom

Paul S Eriksson, 1986

A positive spirit, despite the horror
Ransom was a member of the Ninth Michigan Cavalry during the Civil War when, in Nov. 1963, he was captured in eastern Tennessee; he spent the next year a prisoner in a number of Southern prison camps, most notably Andersonville. He was finally able to escape and make his way back to Union lines. What distinguishes this book is Ransom's humor in the face of such adversity: "July 26 - Ain't dead ...

Marge Mitchell, Joan Sedgwick

Paul S. Eriksson, 1993

an old favorite
Many years ago, my husband and I happened upon this wonderful little restaurant on a vacation in Vermont. I have since referred to their cookbook on many occasions. Some of my favorite recipes are the tomato quiche and the curried chicken and rice salad. This book is truly a little treasure.

The Men of the Gambier Bay

Edwin P. Hoyt

Paul S. Eriksson, 1979

Brave Ship, Brave Crew
By June 1942, it had become clear to the U.S. Navy that some type of smaller aircraft carrier would be needed to provide antisubmarine protection as well as air support for troops on the islands of the Pacific. Thus, the concept of the "baby flattop" or "jeep carrier" was born. These carriers were built on converted liberty ship hulls. Their flight decks were a little less than 500 feet ...

Cabela's: World's Foremost Outfitter: A History

David Cabela

Paul S. Eriksson, 2001

Interesting, but incredibly repetitive
I was looking forward to reading this book since I am a loyal customer of Cabela's. While David Cabela had the best of intentions in documenting the rise of his parents' company, he should have left the writing to the experts. That is not to say this book does not have some useful and interesting content. However, I believe the book could have been cut by 2/3 easily and been more interesting ...
