Has excellent photos, maps, directions and places that I was not able to find on other books for this part of the state.

We've been exploring this area for 20 yrs, but this book has led us to some new places. Directions and descriptions are very good. So far, Dusty Lake is my favorite- see it online.

The easy way with which the great French novelist leads the reader into a realistic mysterical world , can only be described as brilliant. The world of Meaulnes is magical, but not in the modern, cheapish, "Celestine" way. This is the quality of Alain-Fournier. Nature plays an important role in the story. The adventures of Meaulnes can not be seen apart from the beautiful woods that always surround him at his journeys. The story is told by a friend of the main character, Meaulnes.

Meaulnes tries desperately to find the girl he once saw at a medievalesque party in the middle of the forest, upon which he stumbled by coincidence. Alain Fournier manages to surround the two boys with a world that is as riddling and magical as it seems real and authentic. The quest of Meaulnes bears strong resemblances to Proust's "recherche", and is in fact a 20th century, personalized, search for the holy grail. That is not an easy theme for a first novel. As Alain-Fournier succeeded so wonderfully, one can only speculate what the world has missed - Alain-Fournier died at age 28, defending his fatherland France.

In Alain-Fournier's richly written but thinly veiled book of lost innocence we can find a connection to our own lives and mourn the loss of love and innocence that we have experienced along with the characters, all the while losing ourselves in the striking language of the book.

Especially for European fans like myself, who don't know the history of American grand prix drivers and cars, this is an execelent book. I've just loved it. Five stars, at least.

Over the course of modern Formula One racing since 1950, there have been two publicly successful and one publicly unsuccessful U.S. Grand Prix racer, but did you know that there are more than 140 American men and one woman who have challenged in Grand Prix since 1906? Tim Considine spent seven years of his life in research for this volume, which includes biographies of many of the racers, period photos by some of the top photographers, including Pete Biro, Bernard Cahier and Dave Friedman, and a time line history of U.S. drivers, teams and tracks in Grand Prix. As a reference alone, this book is worth having in anyone's GP collection, but as a read, it's a "can't put it down" book. You're going to love this.

The Autocourse annual is the most outstanding annual of the formula 1 season anyone can hope for. Containing team by team analysis of the year, a review of each race, statistics over the season, an editors top ten drivers of the F1 year, seaon review of most other motor racing formulae (F3000, F3, British touring cars, DTM, Indycar, Nascar etc...), lots and lots of high quality photos, most of them colour. A must for any serious F1 fan, and well worth the money.

This is the definitive review of the Formula One season. It offers excellent photos of your favourite Formula One drivers and teams. It gives you a behind the scenes look at each team's season. Each race is reviewed, complete with pre-race as well as race day statistics. This hardbound, colour glossy paged annual is a must have in any Formula One race fans collection.

C.C. Lockwood has done a remarkable presentation of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.It is obvious from the pictures and text presented that he is extremely knowledgable of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. There are views of the inner Canyon that have never before been published and his intimate portrayal of river running on some of the largest white water in North America exemplifies his professionalism as a photographer. For Canyon lovers and river runners alike, both past and future, I highly recommend Mr. Lockwood's achievement.

A beautiful glimpse into the heart of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. The photographs in this book have captured some of the magic that can only be found in the depths of the canyon. I have done two dory trips through the Grand Canyon and I can say that this book is the next best thing to actually being there.

I read and re-read this book when I was younger and now I am reading it to my daughter. Despite a few missing pages, she is totally engrossed in the story and can't wait to see what Billy will add next to his project. It is perfect for the imaginative minds of young children.

I read and re-read this story when I was a little girl. Now I am reading it to my daughter. Even with a few pages missing, she is engrossed in the story and can't wait for what Billy is going to add to his project on the next page. It is super for the imaginative minds of little children.

I have to disagree with the above editorial. I compared the reproductions with others that I have, and although there are sometimes subtle differences they are not always to the disadvantage of this book. Some pictures are better than others, but the advantage here is that each reproduction is on a page by itself with commentary on an adjoining page-a catalogue layout that I always prefer in that it give the painting room to breathe and because I'm not reading on one page and finding the relevant painting six pages later. The book is obviously done by true lovers of the painter. Chardin is profound and a painter's painter. You can see and feel why he was adored by Cezanne, Soutine, Manet, Proust, and I'm sure many other significant artists. He has rightly been called a virtuoso of stillness. Even in reproduction, pieces of fruit, kitchenware and game animals are alive and quietly glowing from within with a warmth, compassion and a kind of subtle majesty-it's really deep in an indescribable way. In my opinion a very worthwhile purchase.

This book is simply gorgeous. I had been well acquainted with Chardin a number of years ago, and picked up this book on a whim at the store. Rediscovering this master was a true delight. His paintings are deceptively simple: behind the cool colors and the measured scenes lies a captivating energy. This particular volume is very well done. The reproductions are of superior quality and the accompanying essays by the world's most renowned Chardin expert are enjoyable and enlightening. Art books are expensive, but this is one that is well worth the investment.

This book contains the best photos of all the Fourteeners we have seen. It's very readable. Its ratings are extremely helpful. It does not provide detailed hiking directions. Rather, it helps you choose among the Fourteeners for priorities to climb.

Roger Edrinn takes the most spectacular photographs I've seen of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks. I highly recommend getting this picture book if you can find a copy. He photographs the peaks with a climber's eye, and often captures unique perspectives of the peaks. I especially like his photo of mountain goats crossing the narrow catwalk on Mount Eolus -- an event that I was fortunate enough to experience firsthand on my own hike of the peak.

If this book even slightly interests you, don't think about it just buy it. The huge amount of historical photos and data is immense and immersive. You have to see it to believe it, just buy it!

of the Grand Sport Corvette. This book has some fascinating ancedotes about the development and racing of these rare machines. It also has some of the most detailed photographs of this era of racing I've ever seen. If you need a reference for the Grand Sport, this book is well worth the money (and the wait - it took almost six weeks to arrive). It covers all five of the Grand Sports build by Chevrolet and follows them through their lifetime, even including some beautiful color pictures of the restored cars in modern times. I absolutely recommend this book for any fan of Corvettes, the Grand Sport, or just the racing of that period in history.

I appreciated this book, not just for the fantastic illustrations and stories, but for improving the reputation of the Wetherills, long considered no-good cowboy pot hunters. A great companion to this books is In Search of the Old Ones by David Roberts, in which Fred Blackburn features largely as a revolutionary who shapes Roberts' thinking about the mess each generation of southwestern archeologists passes on to the next.

Undoubtedly the popular book of the year in Southwest archaeology, "Cowboys and Cave Dwellers" tells how a group of talented and dedicated "amateurs" found the missing links between nearly forgotten collections of artifacts stored in museum basements and their original sites in Utah's spectacular Grand Gulch. In the process they unearthed valuable information about the people called Basketmakers, the first farmers of the Colorado Plateau. The first explorers and untrained archaeologists who dug sites in Grand Gulch removed thousands of artifacts, often taking little care to record their locations. By carefully matching old photographs, diaries, newspaper articles and the signatures those adventurers carved on the canyon walls, the authors of this book, the members of the Wetherill-Grand Gulch Research Project, were able to locate many of the caves and cliff dwelling where the treasures were originally found. They solved one of the most puzzling mysteries of Southeastern Utah archaeology: the location of long lost Cave 7, where Mesa Verde discoverer Richard Whetherill dug up dozens of skeletons that seemed to show evidence of a massacre. A good story with extensive historial and archaeological background and beautifully illustrated, this book is essential for anyone interested in Southwest archaeology. A good companion piece is William Ferguson's "The Anasazi of Mesa Verde and the Four Corners Region," which gives a broader view of the entire Mesa Verde-San Juan region.
