Essential Trout Flies
Dave Hughes

Stackpole Books, 2000

A must have for the serious fly fisherman
What a great book. Of course anything by Dave Hughes is well written, very informative, I love all pictures! Just a great addition to any fly fisherman's library. It really helped me sort our what I needed versus buying a bunch of flies I'll never use.
  
  











  



  
Armored Thunderbolt: The U.S. Army Sherman in World War II
Steven Zaloga

Stackpole Books, 2008

Superb Organizational History
This is a superb book on the Sherman Tank that - amazingly - covers much new ground. It accomplishes this by not focussing on technical development as RP Hunnicutt's Sherman "bible" (and most other Sherman books)do. Instead, it's a history of how the various ...
  
  











  



  
Looking For Trouble: Adventures in a Broken World
Ralph Peters

Stackpole Books, 2008

The trifecta of good writing, good information, and really funny.
I always enjoy reading Ralph Peters' writing. He has such a fresh take on the subjects he writes about that it can be jarring. However, once you take the time to think about it you are better off having considered his thinking whether you end up agreeing with him or ...

The Self-Coached Climber: The Guide to Movement Training Performance
Dan M. Hague, Douglas Hunter

Stackpole Books, 2006

Awesome Book
This book really took me by surprise...I was expected the normal lame guide to technique that briefly explains moves while barely saying anything about when and where to use these moves. However, I was amazed when I began to flip through the pages of this book. The ...
  
  











  



  
Mammal Tracks & Sign: A Guide to North American Species
Mark Elbroch

Stackpole Books, 2003

Excellent resource
This book has great photos of scat, prints, and other animal sign. I was able to use it to definitively identify otter scat on my property. Information is grouped by type of sign, so all the scat pictures are together, for example, and those are subdivided by how they ...
  
  











  



  
Waterfowl Identification: The Lemaster Method
Richard Lemaster

Stackpole Books, 1996

Great Book
I work for a migratory bird rehabilitation facility and this book is invaluable for identifying "birds in hand" we get at our center. I dont think many people realize you can ID a duck by the size and shape of its bill. I have used this book over and over for ...
  
  











  



  
Gardening in Your Greenhouse (Greenhouse Basics , No 2)

Stackpole Books, 1998

First and only reference needed
Okay, I am new to gardening. If I want to learn about something new, I read a bunch of books on the subject before I begin. So after reading over a dozen books on vegetables, herbs, gardening, seed saving and botany, I got Mark Freeman's "Gardening in your ...

Lincoln at Peoria, The Turning Point
Many legends, from the factual to the sublime, have been constructed about the rise of Abraham Lincoln from obscure, backwoodsman, through personal and political defeat to the Presidency of the United States at its most crucial time. Lewis Lehrman shares his life's ...

Walking the Appalachian Trail (Official Guides to the Appalachian Trail)
Larry Luxenberg

Stackpole Books, 1994

Totally related to why he was there
I totally related to the author and why he was out there on the trail. Well written and although the historical commentary sometimes bored me which I admit I skipped sometimes, I could not put this book down. The author's recollection and re cantering of being on the ...
