Lonely Planet Georgia and the Carolinas (Georgia and the Carolinas, 1st Ed)
Published in Paperback by Lonely Planet (January, 2002)
Authors: Jeremy Gray, Jeff Davis, and China Williams
Average review score:

Lonely Planet is best travel series ever!
I am an extensive user of travel guides, particularly ones for travelers on a budget. The Lonely Planet books have the same budget travel info on hotels, airline travel, how to get around by bus, train, etc. that my other favorite series, "Let's Go" has. However, you don't get to learn as much history and culture in the Let's Go books like you do in Lonely Planet. Let's Go is more of a reference book. Lonely Planet teaches you local culture and has much more comprehensive coverage of the region, especially this one-the Carolinas and Georgia. Let's Go doesn't give North and South Carolina nearly as much justice as this Lonely Planet book. Let's Go never mentions the Triad or Wilmington, NC. Lonely Planet has a good section on those. This book makes the least-heralded travel destinations look interesting. This series is also updated an average of every two years, and they welcome input from readers and they use it for the next edition.

This book has an entire section on Atlanta, including a set of very good maps and a MARTA map. You will do well in Atlanta with this book. Charleston and Myrtle Beach, and somewhat of Columbia, SC are well documented, and the up-country of Greenville/Spartanburg are represented. In North Carolina, you'll learn about the Triangle, Charlotte, the Western NC mountain region, and all the beach areas from top to bottom. Georgia has the entire state covered, even the mountain areas of the northeastern part of the state, where there are some excellent state parks, and of course, the southern end of the Appalachian Trail. You will also get to explore Savannah, Augusta, Hilton Head, and much more. There is a good deal of info in the book, and it isn't overbearing to find your way around in it.

Very good information for international travelers from abroad as well. For those of you who visit our area and have never been to the South before, you'll get a handy primer on its eccentricities and its triumphs, as well as how to get along with the most genteel and aristocratic of Southern ladies and gentlemen.


The Long Reach
Published in Paperback by Q E D Press (March, 1993)
Author: Susan Davis
Average review score:

Different indeed-- and unputdownable
This book's cover description says it's "a different kind of novel," and that is exactly correct. The Long Reach comes as close as anything I've ever read to conveying the idea of time as a simultaneous (rather than linear) experience. Susan Davis does this with a set of characters that move through a complex, interwoven mesh of events across several lifetimes. And she does this with prose that never tangles up or lets you down, and in the end, it all fits together just perfectly. Anyone who has read the Seth books by Jane Robers will connect with this little gem of a novel. It will linger in your mind for a long time.

Lorraine Hansberry Collection
Published in Audio Cassette by HarperAudio (February, 2001)
Authors: James Earl Jones, Lorraine Hansberry, Ruby Dee, and Ossie Davis
Average review score:

ELECTRIC READINGS
James Earl Jones, Ossie Davis, and Ruby Dee. Three of today's most prominent actors bring vital poignancy to the unforgettable words of Lorraine Hansberry.

"A Raisin In The Sun," the first drama penned by a black woman to reach Broadway, electrified audiences when it opened in 1959. Loosely basing her play on an Illinois antisegregation case which her father won, Ms. Hansberry sets her story in south Chicago. In it, Walter Lee, a black chauffeur, dreams of improving his life. He hopes to use his father's money to open a liquor store.

However, his mother is against the liquor business, and uses the money to buy a family home. Conflicts arise when someone from this all-white neighborhood attempts to buy them out.

"To Be Young Gifted and Black," a compilation of Ms. Hansberry's writings appeared not only in book form but in 1969 was produced off-Broadway.

Also included on this keepsake audio are seven of Ms. Hansberry's speeches and interviews recorded between 1959 and 1964. It is thrilling to hear her voice.

Regrettably this gifted playwright and author died of cancer at the young age of 34. Her pen was stilled but her words are as relevant and moving today as when they were written.

Also they have supplied a good itinery of other interesting sites in the area.
good value for money, nicely illustrated, well written and clearly presented.


Lost in Time and Space With Lefty Feep: Eight Funny and Fanciful Fables of the Forties, Plus One Brand-New Parable of Modern Times
Published in Paperback by Creatures at Large Pr (April, 1987)
Authors: Robert Bloch, Kenn Davis, and John Stanley
Average review score:

Editor loved Lefty more than his creator did.
This collection of pulp tales brilliantly shows just how different the meaning of a writer's work can differ between a fan and the writer. Editor John Stanley, host of the once popular San Francisco based late night horror movie television show Creature Features, put together many of Robert Bloch's 'famous' Lefty Feep stories. Each yarn involved a very contemporary (for the 1940's that is) con man named Lefty Feep who delighted in telling some long suffering schmuck in a coffee shop the wild tales about his failed get rich quick schemes. Written for the fantasy pulps of yore, each tale has a magical trapping of sorts (i.e. flying carpets, genie in a bottle, etc) that inevitably trip up our tireless, and quite clueless, fall guy of a hero. Not surprisingly Bloch barely remembered writing some of the stories (most were written at the request of the publisher and not out of any desire by Bloch to explore the character further) and this workmanlike attitude casts a humorous light on Stanley's obvious, and quite fanatical, love for the character in the interview segments with Bloch that bookend each story. The small press edition, from Stanley's own, and now defunct, Creatures at Large Press, was intended to be the first volume in a series, but none ever followed. Bloch, in his unauthorized autobiography, blamed the stories with his trademarked bemused self-deprecation. Highly recommended for both the silly stories and the probably unintended fan/writer insight.

A Love Affair with the Game
Published in Hardcover by American Golfer (March, 2002)
Authors: Sandy Tatum, Frank, Jr. Tatum, Tom Watson, and Martin Davis
Average review score:

A must for anyone who loves golf
Sandy Tatum's Amateur golfing career spans every facet of the game and has involved personalities from all walks of life. His book is a fascinating collection of short essays and thoughts about his remarkable life in golf. It is funny, perceptive, and engaging. And there is a short but splendid introduction by Sandy's close friend, Tom Watson. I recommend it to anyone who has ever picked up a club or just enjoyed watching others play.


Love Takes Wing
Published in Library Binding by Bt Bound (October, 1999)
Authors: Janette Oke and Econo-Clad Books
Average review score:

WONDERFUL!
The continuing saga of Clark and Marty finds Belinda, their youngest child, traveling to faraway Boston as a private nurse. Her new life is much different from the one in the West, but Belinda adapts and enjoys her new life. Janette Oke has written this series so well that you feel that you are there and a part of the Davis family. This book is as rewarding as the six before it. Happy Reading!
