I have read Dawn Janov's latest cook book: "Cooking With Memories in Georgetown" and thoroughly enjoyed it. Her pictures and stories are excellent and they all tie in with the recipes. Dawn has a delightful selection of recipes from different walks of life. The recipes are easy to prepare and a delight to serve, as my family have found out. I plan on giving this book for Christmas gifts. I highly recommend it. It is a beautiful book. Marcia Stout

Cooking With Memories is not just a book of recipes. It's more like being in the kitchen with a friend. Helpful hints, great ideas, and fun and lively conversations. This book should not be put away, but left out for friends and visitors to discover. In addition to easy, tasty recipes, from her granddaughters favorite chocolate chip cookies to sophisticated meals for entertaining, the stories of life in a small Colorado mountain community will keep you entertained from the moment the book arrives. Anecdotes from Dawn's life, her family and friends, add a special personal touch to this book. A wonderful read. A must have for the kitchen.

The author Dawn Janov has written a superb literary testament to the people and memories of a very special place, nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Historical Georgetown, Colorado. As a Colorado native I grew up in Georgetown and had the privilege of experiencing all that makes Georgetown unique. From the hilarious characters that have resided in Georgetown, generation after generation, to the festive celebrations that seemed to wisk you back through time, to the amazing charm of the Victorian architecture and splendid beauty. Ms. Janov has captured the TRUE essence of this rare and valuable little jewel, Georgetown. The recipes throughout her cookbook are wonderful as well. Ms Janov's insightfulness, exciting use of ingredients, and creative, gourmet knowledge resonate throughout this beautifully written book. I personally want to thank Dawn for undertaking and completing this testiment to Georgetown, and I would recommend this cookbook to anyone who enjoys creating delicious and exciting dishes that are sure to please. EXCELLENT!

Greg Moody's books are a fun habit. If you have any interest whatsoever in professional cycling (and who doesn't after Lance Armstrong's feats) read Greg's books. You'll get an inside, albeit wild and crazy look at the peloton. You definitely should read the books in the order written (this is the fifth in the series), to understand the history of Will Ross, a washed-up bike racer who has years of European pro cycling under his belt, but always manages to get in one last ride, or one last season, in each of the books. In the latest, he is on staff at a Denver TV news station, and is sent to cover a ride through the Rockies. Mayhem predictably follows, and Will must try to clear his name, find and outwit a mad-bomber, get along with his mobster in-laws, and take yet another ride-of-his-life. Hang on to your cycling shorts!

...as a followup for Deadroll. It extends the previous book which seemed to end abruptly without proper ending. The writing style of Greg Moody is very natural, so the book reads very fast. So read the Dead Air and learn bomber's fate.

Fans of Will Ross will not be disappointed with this much anticipated followup to Deadroll. My only problem is I read the book too fast. I guess I'll have to start over with book 1 and read the whole series. Long live Will Ross!

Buy this book. Buy it new, buy it used, buy it for your friends, buy it for your enemies. Petersen has written a thoughtful and thorough examination of recent grizzly bear management policies (or lack thereof) in the San Juans of Colorado. The book is a pleasure to read.

As someone who occasionally sees grizzers on his property, I can't conceive of living in an environment that doesn't have a population of apex predators to keep things interesting. Petersen masterfully chronicles how government funded assassins with the support of short-sighted local ranching communities and clumsy land managers, managed to kill virtually every grizzly in Colorado. He also accurately details how Western ranchers have come to view public lands with more than a sense of ownership but rather with a sense of absolute entitlement. This has led them to run their stock on federal land at ridiculously cheap rates, ignore even the most commonsense principles of husbandry, and push bears and wolves into the zoos and picture books while trying to keep everyone else out. Also to blame are the Baby Huey-like semi-rich, who hack 20 acre ranchettes out of the diminishing habitat and in the process are strangling the thing they profess to love most.

Petersen manages to stay somewhat balanced, using an essay by the outspoken and bearlike Doug Peacock to say what is probably really on his mind regarding sheep ranchers and development dingbats. In the course of researching the book, Peterson also forges unlikely friendships with former (but not reformed) professional and amateur bearslayers , including Ed Wiseman, who killed the last known Colorado grizz in hand to hand combat in 1979.

There is the general belief in the book that the great bear still lives in the San Juans but has become more nocturnal and reclusive as it adapts to its shrinking habitat. There are certainly drainages wild enough to support a grizz but I personally don't believe there are any left. My heart tells me that any state with a wildlife management policy as pathetic and dumbheaded as Colorado's can't have allowed for even a single surviving great bear. Also, I am reminded of a story in Scott Weidensaul's recent (and excellent) book on vanishing species entitled "The Ghost With Trembling Wings." Weidensaul tells the story of an animal who escapes from a European zoo and whose likeness is posted on the news. Consequently, hundreds of eyewitness calls come flooding in from all over the country, each caller claiming to have personally seen the critter. It turns out that the koala had actually been run over by a train several hundred yards from the zoo immediately after escaping. Weidensaul's point is that people WANT to believe something so badly, they convince themselves of its existence. And I'm afraid that is what we are doing with the Colorado grizzly.

My copy of this book is dog-eared and worn-out after all my readings of it and loaning it to others! David Peterson is one interesting writer. I had visited the San Juan Mountains prior to reading this book and explored the area where the Wiseman grizzly was killed. At the time I thought the Wiseman griz was the last in Colorado. This book inspired me to return and do a little searching of my own. Found some bear sign but was really amazed by how spectacular the high San Juans are in July. I think this book needs another postscript wherein "the search for survivors" is updated!

This book is one of the best books I've ever read. David Petersen does a fantastic job of educating the reader while involving them in some exciting adventures. While searching for grizzlies in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, David fills you in on grizzly natural history, the history of the San Juans, and the need for preserving wilderness in North America. This is a must have book for all who are interested in grizzly bears, the Rockies, wilderness, and the outdoors in general.

Colorado is a maze of 4x4 trails and a Mecca for four-wheelers from around the country. You could spend a bunch of time rounding up the maps to navigate the Colorado outback, but you'd still be shooting blind in many ways. Not only does Charles Wells give you detailed and accurate directions, he clues you in to the difficult spots on the trails and offers you advice on how to surmount them. This book picks up where Volume 1 of his Colorado guide leaves off, and between the two books, every trail worth 'wheeling in Colorado is documented. The only ones excluded are those that might have been opened after the book was published and a couple of the most hellish that are best left to rock buggies. As is usual for Wells, the book is easy to carry, easy to use and as accurate as a sharpshooter's rifle. I've four-wheeled Colorado extensively and when the opportunity came to review this book for a magazine story, I figured I could give this book a thorough "test drive." I did, and it passed with flying colors. It actually got to the point where I left all my other printed navigation aids behind when I went 'wheeling in Colorado and simply threw in my dog-eared copies of Colorado Backroads and 4-wheel Drive Trails, volumes 1 and 2. Consider these "one-stop shopping" for a useful guide to the Colorado 'wheeling hotspots.

I planned my entire Colorado vacation around the information in this book. It allowed me to see the Colorado that is not visible from the highway. The author's advice and trail difficulty ratings gave me the opportunity to explore a great number of ghost towns in a time frame that would not have otherwise been possible. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering leaving the road to see the real Colorado.

Generous use of B/W photos, excellent grid and area maps, and a very educational Introduction. Trails are listed by Area, Difficulty and Alphabetically including author's favorite trails. The Trail Descriptions are very detailed so you don't get lost. If you only buy one Guide, this is the one to get.

This is fiction in a true life mystery setting that is scary; Vietnamese immigrants oppressed and murdered by modern Nazis. The action starts in Chapter 1 and continues throughout with an exciting and suspensful ending. The story flows and the book, once started, is hard to put down.

This book seems so real that whenever I go through Denver, I look sideways at all those normal people and wonder. You can't but like the FBI agent T.K. MacNaughton -- for the first time in a thriller, the FBI agent isn't some hard-a creep pushing his weight around. This character has a heart and it gets broken. But for all the horror, this is a story of hope. Do we have to keep killing our kids? Do we have to keep killing our future? All for ideologies that twist into hatred. Incredible book!

Despite Amazon.com saying it is out of print, Herrenrasse is indeed available (Spies in Deo Publ. at $22.50, Montrose, CO 81401-8713). The book begins with a nightmare and ends with hope. It is based on actual skinhead and extremist activities in the Denver metro area in the late 1980s and early 1990's: "slamming," murder of traitors, murder of innocents just because they are in the path of hate-filled people. The author's association with extremists and anti-government groups, as well as government agents, makes this novel more than real. The center of the story isn't the murder, kidnapping and tagedies, but the courage of the people who face them. A great book!

As with most 2nd editions the authors have enhanced their publication. Route descriptions are more concise and easier to follow. Plus, they have added a multitude of new photos which help you navigate your way to the Colorado summit. The addition of Broomfield County was a nice addition since it has just become a county.

The 1st edition was a landmark production and the 2nd edition is just that much better. A must purchase for anyone who is serious about hiking/climbing to the highest point of each Colorado county.

As someone who has summitted the 100 highest peaks in the lower 48 states, including the 200 highest peaks in Colorado, as well as the 50 state highpoints, I recognize the value and importance of a good guidebook. It is imperative to have John & Dave's book while pursuing yet another list of hiking goals.

This book contains important information not available elsewhere. The information is arranged in a practical and useful manner. I found the driving and hiking maps to be invaluable (many county highpoints are in very obscure locations).

If you want to see parts of Colorado that you may not have visited before, this is a fun guide to use.

The information available in this book, whether you are an experienced hiker/climber or new to the sport, is outstanding. Mitchler and Covill have put together an excellent, meticulously researched guidebook (including specific no-fail directions ) for anyone wanting to hike Colorado's county highpoints. In a delightful addition to that, the book also provides detailed information about the towns, counties, and often the history surrounding each highpoint. This is an excellent book whether you want to actually go out on the trail, or just read about these Colorado scenes. Excellent photos complete this book. You won't be disappointed!

I grew up and live in the summer in a Colorado ghost town at 9,000 ft. altitude surrounded by 13,000 ft. mountains. This is the best guide for Colorado alpine flowers I have ever seen. Great illustrations, fine explanatory notes - a must have for alpine flower afficianados.

I go to Colorado backpacking, rafting and climbing every summer and of all the field guides I have ever had, this one is the best! It has very easy to use color format so you can find any flower in a matter of seconds. KEEP IT HANDY!

This book is just what I was looking for a reference book in the field and home. It has both photos and drawings of each plant. One plant per page and the pages are nicely grouped by flower color which is visible on the page edges as well. The indexes, as usual in nature books of this type, have both common name and Latin name of each plant. Included are black and white diagrams of leave types and flower head patterns with glossary. Each item listed has a synopsis of flowers, leaves, what"~ kind of immediate environment it grows in, "Life Zone(s)" i.e. foothills, alpine, etc., and flowering time.

I quite enjoyed reading this short, fast paced mystery introducing Kat Colorado, a female Sacramento PI.

Kijewski has defended setting her series in Sacramento, and I was quite interested in reading a book set in a smaller Californian city, but in fact Kat's debut case takes her off to Las Vegas in pursuit of a friend's no-good husband. As befits a mystery, things soon take a more murderous turn.

I liked the main character and was carried along by the energy of the narrative, though I think Kat does some rather silly things along the way. I will read more in the series.

I was only able to read a couple of pages the first night I got the book and right away I was dreaming about the story. VERY engrosing characters. Kat is a gal that, for some reason, sticks with you for a while.
The characters were well developed and that was good, considering how fast the storyline moves. I enjoyed the column starting each chapter. It was an entertaining read too. I like to read about strong women who know how to defend themself (Even with a cast on)

This book is one of the more amusing ones, even though the subject matter is just as important as all of the other books. I enjoy Kat and this bookd lets her shine. Go pick it up.

The promise that author Stone showed in The Low End of Nowhere is delivered in this second book of the series. While a key plot point is telegraphed fairly early on, the author uses this to his advantage and delivers some nicely unexpected twists. This time out, the characters stand solid in their own right and in the climactic scenes of this book Stone lets his sense of humor loose, with the result that there are some hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments. It's always rewarding when a writer finds his stride and takes off. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series--which are already waiting for me in the small mountain of bedside reading.
Highly recommended.

This book (and the rest of the Streeter Mysteries) are captivating with a rough appeal. The rawness of the lead character, Streeter, makes you scared of him, yet leaves you wanting to now more about him. Stone does an excellent job with the story line that will keep you in suspense until the very end. Can't wait for more of them. If you love a good mystery, look no further.

The first 2 sentences of this book hooked me. "Merton"Buddy" Hinckley wouldn't tell you the truth if you set his hair on fire. As a small- time contractor, he treated his customers like lice, and he had more process servers after him than both Clintons combined." Move over, Raymond Chandler. Read this in one sitting. Even though I hated the ex-girl friend and hoped she'd get iced or at least didn't care, Stone makes you care about the story. It moves fast and has interesting characters. The final "show-down" is hilarious; this should be a movie. I plan to read all the Streeter books.

I know Mary Ellen Johnson personally, and I am v. good friends w/ Jacob Ind. While there are some inaccuracies in Mary Ellen's book, it is a tremendous accomplishment. This book needs to be read by anyone w/ ties to the judicial system so we can get Jacob out. More harm is being done to him in prison than if he were out. Please get everyone you know to read this book and join the fight to free Jacob. The atrocities his "parents" put him (and his brother) through should excuse him from prison. Today is the 10 year anniversary of when he killed them...let's band together and get the judicial system to stop punishing him for just protecting himself.

First of all, the book is well written. Mary Ellen Johnson has a natural flow to her words. More importantly, however...everyone must read this book. The story of this poor boy is horribly tragic. Even today, he suffers for the sins of his parents. More people need to know about the case so that more pressure can be brought to bear in freeing Jacob Ind. If you find true crime interesting, I recommend this book highly.

This book by Mary Ellen Johnson is remarkable, heart breaking, tearfull and a must read, finding it hard to put down. It details this boy's (Jacob Ind) life of physical, mental, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse handed out by his mom and stepfather and now by the American Criminal Justice System. I highly recomend and suggest everyone read this book. 'The Murder of Jacob'
