Gun Digest 2009: The World's Greatest Gun Book (Gun Digest)
by Ken Ramage
Amazon Price: $19.79
Customer Reviews:
»
Not all guns are in Gun Digest. I wonder why alot of guns that continue to be made are not put in these catalogs.

» The 2009 edition of Gun Digest is an excellent reference book on firearms. It is probably "THE" best single publication for the gun enthusiast out there.

» A brilliant way to keep up with what is happening in shooting in America. I have most editions from the early 50's and find it compulsive reading.

Kerplunk!: Stories
by Patrick F. McManus
Amazon Price: $10.40
Customer Reviews:
» McManus is my favorite humorist. This book is a compilation of his articles in Outdoor Life. Not quite up to his other books, but he still gets some good ones off.

» These books by McManus are the best for making you remember what it was like growing up when kids were real kids. As you read, the world melts away and entertains you as if you were really there.

» This is the first audio book I have gotten from this author. I made a deal with my self to listen to audio books only while driving. I started laughing so hard I had to pull the car over so I wouldn't...

» Laughed the whole time. Loved the book. He says it was great. Buy it if you like the outdoors and the mishaps that can happen.

» I am sorry I bought it. I couldn't get past the first 2 stories. I was expecting something on the order of Bill Heavey's "If You Didn't Bring Jerky, What Did I Just Eat?" Heavey's book at least has pl...

Amazon Price: $16.50
Customer Reviews:
» I have enjoyed all of the Rita Mae Brown books I have read. They are a great read for an animal lover

» I keep reading the so called "editorial reviews" and wondering if they actually read anything but modern literature? It took Proust twenty odd pages of wafting through the smell of madelines and deli...

» Loving the fox-hunting series of Rita Mae Brown, I waited anxiously for the newest. What a disappointment. The story began, it progressed, and it ended. No 'grace-notes' of delightful personalition...

» Not the best of the Sister Jane series, not the worst. Glad I read it, but I hope the next one is much better than this one. The first three were fabulous, then it started becoming a bit hit or miss...

» I was glad to see a return to some better plot lines. Although I miss my "friends" like Crawford Howard, being a foxhunter myself, I know how these relationships tend to take a back seat in the summe...
