A gem -- no other word for it. In more than six decades of Civil War "buffdom," I've never seen a clearer, more complete, more reader-friendly book on any segment of that war. There is not an unnecessary word in it, but it leaves nothing unsaid. Truly a small masterpiece.

In this story by Dr. Bailey, the truth of war is presented deftly, with all its sounds and imagery; the flowing conversational manner in which told was a helpful buffer for this reader, who usually finds stories of this travesty particularily impersonal, and therefore a lonely experience to endure. But here, this reader learned with fascination more than anything else.

The wind blows this cover off my car every single day. If it weren't for the cable lock, this cover would have blown out of my neighborhood and into the ocean long ago. It's a good material, but it desperately needs more gromments and bungee cords to hold it on the car. I find it hard to believe that BMW would create an outdoor car cover that is only effective when the weather is perfect, but that's what they did here. Shop elsewhere, you'll be disappointed with this one.

I am so very happy this collection of songs has finally been made available for domestic release. When many in the recording industry made a huge deal of the Natalie/Nat King Cole recording of "Unforgettable" in 1991, I, although happy it was successful,was not impressed.No, the record was great. The reason I wasn't impressed is for all the hoopla made over the record, the techinology used for it had been used 11 years earlier on this album.This album was built around Minnies' vocals recorded in 1978 with the great Leonard Caston. The instrumentation from those sessions was rerecorded, but Minnie's vocals were retained & paired with many guest artists. The result is new instrumentation and several duets w/Minnie created and released posthumously in 1980.What a beautiful tribute this work is to Minnie and her legacy. This album has only 7 songs(the perfect number), but it is well worth it. I will always have a place in my heart for this Perfect Angel.

I picked up three vials per 4HWW recommendations- honestly the AGG stack with Niacin and a good multi at night are giving me amazing sleep and great recovery after hard workouts. I don't seem to get deep deep 2-3 day soreness anymore. The Policosanol- not sure what it's doing for me- once I've been on it for a month I'll get bloodwork done to see if anything's changed. shipping was very quick though, and the price was pretty good compared to competition.

I am a big fan of Shirley McClintock and her family. I've read every one as soon as I could get my hands on them, and reread each so many times I'm afraid I will have to replace the books soon from sheer wear and tear. Shirley is the non politically correct, common sense first opposite of every fluff headed "heroine" that clutter too many mysteries. The mysteries are clever and beguiling but it is the the people in the books I want to know more about. They are real, flawed, full flavored, and interesting. My only complaint is that Ms Oliphant cannot, under the present law, be forced to write more, more, more.
