Price's South is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about this southern fiction and non-fiction writer. Excellent as a travel guide for excursions through historic and vibrant locales. Also good for those who want to travel through reading a wonderfully written book!

A concise and very readable book on incentive stock options and how to get the most out of them. Lots of practical information on what they are, the tax issues, ways to exercise them and more. I especially liked the discussion on using margin to do a 'cashless' exercise and then holding the stock for long term capital gains.

This is another great story in the Little House series. This one is about Almanzo and his life on the farm when he was a young boy. The day begins like any other but ends with a special gift towards "man-hood" for his birthday. My pre-school children love all the Little House books, but this one is particularly loved and read over and over again. The story also teaches selflessness with a surprise at the end.

That Crusoe would have so matured and improved with age having been stuck on an island for most of his life? Life begins at sixty for Robinson Crusoe. Friday is dead in Robinson Crusoe though, so the blurb is wrong.

Richard S. Wheeler proves with every new book that he is the undisputed master of the historical novel of the American West -- a fact known to his colleagues in Western Writers of America, Inc., who have awarded him three Spur Awards for his work, and this year will bestow on his their Owen Wister Award for lifelong contributions to the history and literature of the West. In THE FIELDS OF EDEN, Wheeler takes the reader to the Oregon Country of the 1840s, a time when this immense, primitive, breathtakingly beautiful territory is ruled by England's venerable Hudson's Bay Company, a hegemony being challenged by the arrival of emigrants seeking a chance at a new life. The author's unforgettable cast of characters include the O'Malleys, John and Mary Kate, who come from an Irish village and endure the heartbreaking journey to the Pacific with a simple dream of making an honest living and rising above the grinding poverty of their beloved home country; Rev. Jasper Constable, who brings his family to Oregon with lofty motives--to bring God to the natives--and who is as unaccustomed to physical labor as he is to disillusionment; Abel Brownell, married to Felicity and father of two, who has been lucky all his life, making money with no effort and hoping to make a fortune out West with his gift of gab and carefree manner; and Garwood Reese, whose dream is the most ambitious of all: to convince others that he is the savior of Oregon, the man who will eject the British and their French-Canadian cohorts and establish white American supremacy in the Northwest. In his efforts he is aided by his sister-in-law Electra Reese, whose husband drowns in the Columbia River rapids and who, with her own predatory agenda, wastes no time grieving. The one man who both aids and stands in the way of this disparate party of dreamers is the "White Eagle" of the Oregon country, Doctor John McLoughlin, chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company, a physical and intellectual giant torn by his allegiance to the British Crown he represents and his innate humanity toward the starving, trail-worn emigrants struggling into his domain. Wheeler is no mere "story-teller" -- all his books (among them, SIERRA, AFTERSHOCKS, SECOND LIVES, THE BUFFALO COMMONS, SUN MOUNTAIN, MASTERSON, BADLANDS) elucidate some element of the American character -- often a failing, more often an understated nobility -- and while the reader may not realize it while caught up in this master's stylish narrative, there is a gentle moral in every book. THE FIELDS OF EDEN is grandly-conceived, flawlessly written, and unfailingly moving: hallmarks of the work of this American master.

If anyone were to gather names for the top five western writers of all time, Richard S. Wheeler would undoubtedly be among them. His tale spinning genius and esteemed talent with language unfolds again in FLINT'S HONOR, Wheeler's third book detailing the adventures of warring journalist, Sam Flint. Flint arrives in Silver City Colorado-a town wedged between the walls of a rocky gulch-to defend the honor of a prostitute, whose death had been treated smugly in the Silver City Democrat. Searching the boomtown for a place to set up his press, Flint finds no vacancies, and against his better judgment has to settle for a room in a house of ill repute. Rather than recognizing Flint's new Silver City Sentinel as a worthy competitor, Digby Westminster, the editor of the Democrat plays Flint's positioning for all it's worth, and dubs the new paper The Bawdyhouse Bugle. Flint soon learns that the licentious editor has another foe, Achilles Balthazar, a powerful and despicable mine owner known for his ill treatment of workers and ability to read peoples minds-especially idealists like Flint. Flint finds himself amidst the politics and greedy maneuvers of both men, having only the power of words as his defense. Ready to sum up his losses at any moment, Flint is joined by a gypsy printer, Jude Napoleon, who not only adds spice to Flint's conflict, but provides him with the extra energy and wit needed to help bring down the two men, who like the mammoth walls that parallel the city, hold the whole town captive.

This is my first read book by Richard Wheeler. I was very moved. The accounts of the West for this gold rush town seemed vivid in my mind as I read. Very emotional ending. Sadly Fabulous! This book speaks to a person's heart!

Great Stories Remembered is brimming with touching and inspirational stories that encourage the reader to cling to and uphold traditional values. They are perfect for reading aloud with your family and when the individual is seeking something that is both renewing and refreshing. The anthology contains de Maupassant's The Necklace and a charming love story called Letter to Edith.There are many other notable stories as well. Any reader who enjoys the Chicken Soup series will find this book to be just as impressionable.

Great book for a general overview of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, which are the basis for most major religions today. Very interesting ideas on the meaning and evolution of life (and I'm not talking Darwin!). This book is a great fundamental learning tool for all people who look to life with an open mind.

While I have all four of these books in Paperback and therefore have had no need to buy this book I have looked through this book and I think buying this one is a MUCH better idea than buying them seperately. This book includes pictures, Drawings by Al Hirschfield, Cut-Lyrics and more. All four of the shows are purely genius and provide you with laughter while provoking thoughts. This is a must for all Sondheim fans and musical fans and anyone interested in 4 great shows: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Sunday in the Park With George,Sweeny Todd, and A Little Night Music.
