After reading snippets of this book for years, I finally got it. The story was interesting and entertaining from the initial captivity in the European prisoner camp, through the trek to the Siberian camp, until the end of the long walk that led from Siberia to freedom.             From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava Jay Kopelman, Melinda Roth The Lyons Press, 2006 Love and War This is not a book I would have ever picked up on my own. Although I love and care about dogs, and all animals, with a passion, I generally don't have any interest in reading true-life "My Dog and Me" stories. However, my mother highly recommended it and now I'm glad ...             Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness Mark Fenton, David R.

Can't wait to actually sit and read instead of browsing. I've already selected several items that I want to build before the summer is over.

The story revolves around a ...             Little House on a Small Planet: Simple Homes, Cozy Retreats, and Energy Efficient Possibilities Shay Salomon The Lyons Press, 2006 Great designs, sometimes overenthusiastic This is a beautiful book! I enjoy reading it in my off hours, just leafing through and reading about other people's ideas. Don't be intimidated by the word "small" in relationship to houses -- some of these small houses are at least 1000sq ft. Some are indeed small. ...             The L.L.

The Lyons Press, 2006 One of the best "how-to" books on fly fishing This is a composite of three previously published L. L Bean guides: fly-fishing, casting, and fly tying. The first part is Whitlock's book on fly-fishing and is one of the best (the other being Rosenbauer's Orvis book) introductions to the sport of fly fishing. The ...             Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide Peter Allison The Lyons Press, 2007 Oh, I wish I were there again! Allison's description of life as a safari guide and his interaction with beast and man will put a smile on your face.

His ability to poke fun at himself ...             Running with the Devil: The True Story of the ATF's Infiltration of the Hells Angels Kerrie Droban The Lyons Press, 2007 So Far, only okay :( Okay, so truth be told, I bought this book thinking I would get some "birdseye view" into the world of the Hells Angels and as I am about 3/4 of the way through it, I am coming up a little dissapointed. Up until now, it's been an odd account of what seems like more ...             The Illustrated Guide to Edible Wild Plants Department of the Army The Lyons Press, 2003 A practical and useful book The book is small and easy to pack.
