The Arrowhead Incident
Published in Paperback by Xlibris Corporation (12 January, 2001)
Author: John L. Cook
Average review score:

As Real As it Gets
If you were not a part of Desert Storm, then there is a tendency to look down on you. However, those of us who are veterans of Desert Storm should cut John Cook a little shack. His war was Vietnam. Yet, he captures the mood of went on there in a most emotional manner. Fratricide has always been a part of the American military. However, the American pulic does not understand this. Good job, John Cook. Keep up the good work.

Best I've Seen on Desert Storm
Finally, someone has written a story on Desert Storm that isn't saddled with all the emotional baggage concerning Gulf War illness. The Arrowhead Incident is a fast-paced story that holds the reader's attention from the very opening scene to the final chapter. John Cook has done an excellent job and has told a most plausable story that is probably very close to the mark when it comes to the incredible influence defense contractors have over weapon systems. Recommend highly. You will enjoy it.


Arrowhead Mills Cookbook
Published in Paperback by Avery Penguin Putnam (June, 1993)

Dont know where to start? Try this!!
This book is for the person who wants to "cook it right" but doesn't have a clue as to where to begin. I have dozens of "natural food" cookbooks, but this is the one I always come back to. Here you can discover how to make a pie crust with healthy oils and flours. Like bread? Try the Sunflower Molasses W/W Bread. Delicious! You don't have to buy lots of strange ingredients to get good results. This book also offers a guide on how to use natural foods. Simple and easy--not complicated.

Yummiest VEGAN food!
This book is indefinately one of my most used cookbooks.I only use the vegan recipes,which account for about 75% of the book.The cream of mushroom soup is out of this world,as is the chocolate peanut butter mousse!Some of the recipes don't require any fat(she want's to keep things "healthy")but I don't use these recipes because more often than not vegan food needs SOME sort of fat to taste good(be it nuts,nut butter,oil,or natural fats in tofu).All in all this is definately one of my best purchases!

Essential reading to identify and know arrowheads.
This 223 page's book is an excellent introduction to the world of prehistoric amerindian projectile points and arrowheads. In some very nice photos and inscriptions you could find the "keys" to what you collect, their relative prices, regional classification and chipping techniques. A simple and practical relation describes the U.S. materials used to make arrowheads and blades including all the regional types, edges, shapes, individual characteristics of each piece and instructions to take care with them. Indispensable to begginers and advanced collectors this book certainly attempt the amateur archaeologist's expectation.

Avro Arrow
Published in Paperback by Boston Mills Press (February, 1995)
Authors: Arrowheads, Richard Organ, and Richard Crgan
Average review score:

Engrossing
An exhaustive book on one of great "mystery" of jet fighter history.The aircraft program is fully narrated from the enthusiastic "go ahead" to the painfull termination.Direct testimonies of executives,engineers and test pilots make the plot really vivid showing the feelings behind this endeavour:the epilog still looks like the end of a dream. Illustrations,pictures,factory drawings are truly intriguing,since few were previously available.Particularly impressive is the "log",where significant figures are released on aircraft data and performances. Finally some light on a cold war aicraft that "might have been"!


Avro Arrow: The Story of the Auro Arrow from Its Evolution to Its Extinction (180P)
Published in Paperback by Boston Mills Press (October, 1980)
Author: Arrowheads
Average review score:

truly engrossing
One of the finest book dedicated to this controversial program! Being interested in technical details and aircraft perfomances,I found many factory drawings about structures, internal systems arrangements, armament layout and cutaway views. Important performance figures are available from tables and charts. But the most interesting feature is the the description of the development and testing phase that shows all the potential of this doomed plane. Finally some basic facts on an aircraft still surrounded by an halo of mistery about its birth and its death!
