Trouble Shooter (Hopalong Cassidy Novel)

Louis L'Amour

Bantam, 1995

Louis L'Amour's Trouble Shooter
First of all, I liked this Louis L'Amour book greatly. I like L'Amour's slick and heroic character, Hopalong Cassidy. The book has a great plot and all. In the beginning Hoppy looked for the PM ranch which his friend Pete Melford owned. The people in town say they never heard of him. Hoppy meets Cindy Blair, Pete's niece and Rig Taylor. They can't find the ranch either. Hopalong meets Pike Towne ...

RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "SUPERSTAR OF SNIPERS!"
I would first, like to make a point about the title, that I picked for my review. Some people, might possibly find it offensive. But if you were watching a motion picture, or a TV program, that had Jack as one of the main characters, and his comrades referred to him in that exalted way, you would take it in stride. Imagine Jack, as the young sniper in "Saving Private Ryan". With that being said, ...

everything and the kitchen sink
I am a screenwriter who took up video. I am the opposite of an equipment fetishist. What I loved about this book was --- I could understand it! Not only that, it reminded me of what and how to achieve those qualities I admire in great films--story, framing, editing, etc. There was no condescension. No talking above my head. The use of humor was terrific. I never thought I'd say this about a ...

Joe McNally

New Riders Press, 2008

Location Photogrpahy for Commerical and Portrait Photographers
I'll keep this short and sweet. 1. NOT a cookbook or "how to" book. 2. NOT a beginners book. 3. IS a book for high intermediate level and advanced photographers (see#4). 4. This book does not give F stops or other technical information. That's why it's an advanced book. 5. 100% LOCATION photography and how to overcome the hardships of this type of shot. 6. Emphasis on hard core commercial ...

Berkley Trade, 1996

Is that really what happened?
The Old West has given us an unbelievable number of stories,books,songs,movies and above all a seemingly endless list of characters. But what was the real truth,what was embellished,and what was pure legend? Long time fans of the Old West will probably say it is a mix of all that,and much more. This book goes a long way in giving what the author has been able to research and find what the ...

An important collector's reference
Any who buy, sell or trade in antique firearms needs to know identification, firearm specs, and how to value one: Shooter's Bible Presents Antique Guns: A Collector's Guide provides everything needed to do all of this. Color photos introduce the topic, but the heart of the title isn't color: it's black and white photos paired with caliber, barrel, weight and model specifications. Year of ...

Amistad, 2005

Weird but Good
This book was an exceptional book. Although it was very disturbing it had lots of good writing in it. It seemed to be based on Columbine with many of the themes the same. The way the book was set up was interesting, through many interviews with the people involved with the incident. It is about a boy named Len, who has numerous mental problems. He abuses prescription drugs, is bullied at school ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

One Hell Of A Book
I loved this Book. I have read other reviews from individuals that didn't take away as much as I did. It's very easy to say that a book doesn't encompass all the potential of an individuals account. I find that every source of compelling material can always be evaluated in another context. However, you have to be aware that the context of the author is not that of regular civilians. The ...

David Hume Kennerly

Newsweek Books, 1979

An outstanding book.
Anyone thinking of becoming a free lance Photographer should read this book. The problems that Mr. Kennerly has to overcome as a Photographer can be very edicational to the novice and the experiences he describes will hold the reader to the last page. There is also a generous amount of photographs to support the written word.

More than tipsy
This is an excellent book to get a great party going. Under the assumption that you and your buddies want to get drunk and fast, this book contains everything from the classics to the unknowns. I've given almost every shot in this book a try (those that I haven't tried were simply because I lacked the exact ingredients) and everything ranges from pretty tasty to strange and exotic. I highly ...

Harbinger: The Beginning ... more please!
Harbinger: The Beginning is a retelling of the first eight Harbinger comics from Valiant Comics in 1992 in a new format. Those eight comics tell a single story, and have never been together in a single book before, since the earlier trade paperbacks for Harbinger only included four or five of these eight. This hardcover has digital re-coloring for the original inks, giving a "modern twist" on ...

School Shooter: In His Own Words

Mark Frye

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
I've had a copy of Mark Frye's SCHOOL SHOOTER for quite awhile. Actually, I've had it so long he's probably wondering by now what exactly I did with it. The problem, for me, was that this story was one I could only take in small doses. Being a mother of school-age children, I couldn't help but be affected by the story of teenager James Toomey -- and that same cause and effect scenario wasn't ...

Bill Fawcett

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

Great book to accompany SEAL military histories
The great thing about this oral history is that you get a personal feel for the characters as they talk about their experiences. The wide range of experiences are reflected in the wide range of personalities that the history is drawn from. The accounts are honest and sincere. Each account begins with a brief editorial introduction and summary of a different aspect of the SEALs unit formation and ...
