Customer Reviews

A great story about small town life.

This is a great conversation about what life is like in a small town. Anyone who has been to this part of East Texas will appreciate the stories about how remote and isolated life use to be. The book is written in a manner that makes it a very easy read, and it is hard to put the book down.

A fantastic story about life in a small town

Anyone who has ever been to a small town will be able to relate to and understand the sense of community Dr Taylor describes in his book and the impact a man like this can make. This is a book that makes you long for the days where people were judged by their deeds and there was an obligation not to just your family, but to the community as well. If you think that one person cannot make a difference, read this book.

A friend of the author

We just buried Dr Taylor here in Nacogdoches ... The pastor presiding at the funeral had a copy of Dr Taylor's book and quoted from it extensively. I had forgotten about the book until then and have recently purchased it. Buy it.

Heart, Humor, Humbleness

Dr. Jim Taylor's book "A Dollar A Mile; Fifty Cents A Gate" is a beautiful gift to many: (1) all the folks in the East Texas area where he practiced medicine, (2) his family and many friends everywhere, and (3) all those who enjoy a good "read". The book is filled with heart, humor and humbleness, so-o-o exemplary of its author!! Just about everyone in Nacogdoches County, TX, knows and loves this great man.

A True Texas Treasure

So many wonderful truly funny stories in this book. Interesting, easy reading! One of my favorite stories - the doctor who pretends to have a seizure in order to get patients out of his waiting room so that he can make it to the football game on time! My favorite poem - about how your children are just an extension of your life - not something you own or should try to make into someone other than themselves.
