Customer Reviews

The Treasury is a Treasure

I already had a copy of the book when I purchased this copy for a friend. (That says something right there.) The "Treasury" offers tantalizing tidbits from famous and not-so-famous persons both interesting in themselves and encouragement to read more of authors' works that particularly strike one's fancy. The short chapters are ideal for reading when only a short time is available

A good bood about the written history of the Sierra Nevadas

A good read about the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. The book is a collection of short stories assembled by Mr. Reid that detail various aspects of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.I expecially enjoyed the short stories and articles by Dan DeQuille, Bret Harte, and Mark Twain. Mr. Reid preceeds each chapter with an introduction that explains some of the history regarding the author and the subsequent story.Bill White Minden, Nevada
