Winter Count 4 reviews Barry Lopez
Vintage, 1999
For Two Stories...
+ No small wonder . . . + The magic of words
It seems an earlier reviewer had the same feelings as I about this book; I would just say - buy it for 'The Woman Who Had Shells' and 'The Orrery'. Both are twists of simple, magical stuff.

How To Increase Its Value
With TOPO, it makes a big difference if you copy the maps from the CDs to your hard drive. That results in a much faster and better experience. Directions for copying the maps to your hard drive are on the Topo web site. Some reviewers do not realize that.

National Geographic
National Geographic, 2006
You'll get 10 disc's
Be ready to be confused when you get this package of 10 disc's. The first Install disc is obvious enough but the next 9 aren't. In fact they don't say anything on them except which numbered disc they are. No region, no area, nothing. The instruction manual doesn't say anything about them. The ...

Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver 3 reviews J. Frank Dobie
University of Texas Press, 1985
Dobie tells a fine story.
+ Classic Dobie + a treasury of stories of brave and foolish gold seekers
This book is an excellent read. It's probably been responsible for more newcomers searching for the Lost Adams Diggings than any other book. However, Dobie wrote this book, not as a work of history, but as a great story. Readers should keep that in mind. Many years ago Apache Gold and Yaqui ...
