Bright Pages is comprised of writing selections from people who have attended Yale; this common ground is surprising in light of the variety of perspectives and styles the book contains. The introductions at the beginning of each section by J. D. McClatchy chronicle the personal history of the writer, and the selections are diverse and intriguing. Some of the writers that I enjoyed were Tom Wolfe, James Fenimore Cooper, Robert Penn Warren, Thornton Wilder, and Jonathan Edwards. The selections span sermons, short stories, poems, and cartoons. Each selection is so different from the others that the whole book is captivating-- there isn't a moment of repetition. In all, the book is very well organized and representative of the variety and depth of writers that have sprung from Yale.

No mass appeal. Ergo no profit. Ergo no use. The current World Credo.

These words are found on page 48 of the paperback version of this book, published in 1980. Such perception! Such prescience! And how completely unfortunate for those of us who like to read something just a tad different from the latest techno-thriller.

This particular book is the second of a series of intelligent, witty, off-the-beaten-path mysteries set in the northeastern part of the US. It could almost be called a Nick-and-Nora type of book, except that the 'Nick' of this book is the erudite and somewhat crusty Charlie Greenfield, owner/editor of Sloan's Ford (NY) Reporter, a small-town weekly newspaper, and the 'Nora' is Maggie Rome, girl--well actually--star woman reporter.

There is no sexual hanky-panky between these two, however, as Maggie is happily married, and mother of two nearly college age sons. Charlie is a widower, and quite probably a misogynist. Or if not that extreme, he is content without a romantic interest.

In this book (and I'm off to the library to find the first one) the annual summer vacation of the newspaper office staff coincides with the opening of Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Considering that Charlie and Maggie are two thirds of an amateur string trio, their shared love of music proves the final enticement and prompts Charlie to accept the invitation of an old friend, a violinist in the BSO. Maggie is roped into driving Charlie to Tanglewood as his car is suffering a possibly fatal illness, and the two set off in her Honda for a supposedly brief, calm and musical holiday.

Once arrived at Wheatleigh, the Italianate mansion that is now a luxury hotel located almost adjacent to Tanglewood, an amazing assortment of characters are introduced. Some of them are important to the story, some are not, but they'll all keep your interest. Unless, of course, you are a devotee of the above mentioned techno-thrillers. If you prefer an icy glass of lemonade, a hammock on a summer's day, and an entertaining book to while away the hours, you'll not want to close this book before you've come to the startling conclusion.

All the clues are laid out neatly, as are the red herrings. If you're a fan of Ravel or Brahms, so much the better.

Consolidation is not better than diversity! To think this book might not ever have been published. Horrible thought!

Includes a wide variety of carriages for all uses, all presumably once available for purchase. Also includes catalog descriptions of each model, somewhat useful in learning about features on each item. Illustrations appear to be stylized a bit, very attractive. No photographs. The best book of its type I have seen so far.

This book should be in everyones kitchen.The recipes are easy and delicious,with most ingredients in your cupboards. It's a 90's cookbook.

An excellent and thorough collage of disparate, previously hard-to-access details about Connecticut participants in the American Civil War! His workaday knowledge of regimental regalia and its significance and that of numerous accoutrements of the time have produced an enjoyable experience, both on and off the page!
