Severson & Denkler have done a great job offering delicious, do-able, interesting recipes and delivering them in an entertaining style. One doesn't have to be in Alaska to appreciate or use these recipes.

This book covers 16 homes designed by noted and not so noted architects in the Northwest. I personally liked one of these homes so much, I built one just like it as a weekend retreat. The styles vary, as do the materials and locations. Most of what you'll see in here is rather comtemporary and timeless -- it worked then, and it still works today!

Jack Mellot's photos capture the beauty of Northwestern's Evanston campus in a way that I imagine all alumni want to remember it. Nary a word, except for the haunting alma mater, occupy this book, and for good reason -- the pictures speak for themselves.

Walter McClintock was a young man who came to the Blackfeet Country at about the turn of the century. He was a trained scientist who could use a camera and he kept careful notes. This is not a romance novel nor anthropological interpretation. McClintock was simply there and made friends well enough to be accepted. He recorded stories, rituals (also took photos), and daily incidents as well as much natural history. He was really there and he is an honest and graceful reporter.

I am very impressed with this new release of Mary Walker's Diary. I am a direct decendant of Mary and Elkanah Walker and am very proud that there is such a wonderful book with her's and Myra Eells' diary entries. It gives us a view of how women's lives were, how people's views about the Native Americans were at that time, and shows us the hardships of pioneer life. I want to thank the authors for keeping this piece of history alive.

This is a great addition to the WS Library, and will be to any cookbook reader's library. The Pacific Northwest has easy to follow recipes that are true to the regions bounty. As with all WS books, the pictures can write a story themselves. I especially like the sections that go into the history of the regional produce and what florishes naturally in the Northwest climate. This is a true representation of what makes that area of our country so unique. Reading the book has made me want to take a trip back there.

Though some of these recipes are a little out there, most of them are simply delectable. The book provides a great feel for the flavor (pardon the pun) of the region and some wonderful recipes.

This is the best detailed refrence of the history of settlement in the last frontier. The architectural and cultural historical value is unprecidented. The detail oriented Jusuites have left a first rate journal. A rare find indeed.
