It's too bad that this book is out of print. If you loved the movie, you'll love the book. It has much more of the story. This book should be considered a classic!

A simple equation yet it works: bad virgin=good book. You don't need to be an engineer, however, to comprehend this fast paced novel. It stunningly portrays what life in the old west must have been like. The author uses vivid imagery to bring the characters to life. YEE-ha go read it cowgirls

THE BARON WAR is as big and bold as the land it is written about. Follow the continuing saga of Martin Baron as he strives to build an an emire in an unforgiving land. Along the way Martin must deal with an old enemy who is out to take back the land Martin has legally purchased as well as trying to heal the rift that has come between he and his son Anson. Jory Sherman has once again writen a book in this outatanding series that can stand alone. THE BARON WAR will leave the reader anxiously awaiting the next book in this wonderful series. Sherman shows why he is an award winning author.

Tess Baron at first seems like an uptight business woman with no feelings for anyone other than herself. But in this story, as in life, not everything is as it seems. Nick Trejo suddenly appears and nothing is the same for Tess again. Tess has never known love in her life, so for her life is about her work and the family business. Tess is drilling for oil that could bring in millions of dollars, but at the same time she may cost Nick his family's fortune and his grandfathers dream. At first, Tess is unimpressed with Nick and his plea for her to stop drilling, but she soon learns Nick will pull out all the stops to convince her to do the right thing. Nick is unaware of the price that Tess will have to pay in order to help him. Even though Nick and Tess seem to be at a impass they are still deeply attracted to each other. Nick and Tess give us a story of love, courage, faith, and any other emotion that you can think of. This is a great start to the series.

The Battle of the Alamo by Carmen Bredeson is about people from different states who defend Texas' independence. I think they should have gotten reinforcements before the war started. The author Carmen Brendeson writes books about history that will make you feel like you are there. People who love history and battles should read this is a good book. I give it five stars!

I can not say enough about the Baynes Clan series of books. McCord is equal in every way to Louis L'Lamour in his writing abilities. I just wonder why anyone has not made a movie of the Baynes Clan yet. It is the best family western series since the Sacketts and I do not exagerate at all. After reading the Baynes Clan and Walking Hawk, another excellent book by McCord, I am a devoted fan of his writing style. I am eagerly awaiting his next western book!!! ~Bev. Bozman~

The book is well organized with each chapter representing a specific compentency. Tons of information!! Excellent review of information needed. Easy to read!

Rylander, a student of the famous Austrian animal behaviorist Konrad Lorenz, put forth considerable effort to extract noteworthy examples of innate and learned behavioral traits in Texas birds. All students of Texas birds and bird behavior should add this book to their library.

Holding a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Sam Houston State University, Jorge Antonio Renaud is also journalist, the former editor of the ECHO (the Texas Prison newspaper), and a convicted felon serving time for armed robbery. Jorge drew from his own life experiences to write Behind The Walls, a practical, no-nonsense guide written specifically for friends and family members of Texas prison inmates. Offering basic information about the Texas prison system, the daily lives of prisoners, the importance of family contact to perpetuate hope for a better life outside of prison, and an objective expose of the system itself, make Behind The Walls compelling reading for far more than just its target audience. This is also an invaluable, experience-based, and articulate contribution to twin fields of criminology and penology.

This cookbook is the finest book I've come across with down to earth Texas Cuisine. That I remember from my early childhood.
