The author of this book, Larry McCabe, is re-releasing books that have gone out of print for one reason or another. This particular book is an old friend. After I received it, I went into my library and found a copy. It has been in print in one form or another for 25 years. Most instruction books don't last anywhere near that long. First, this book (as the author warns) is not for beginners. You need to be familiar with the movable blues scales we all use. If you are playing out, and feel comfortable with the whole neck, get this book. The style of lead is closer to Gatemouth Brown and Freddie King than anyone else. If you don't know who these men are, buy their CDs. You are in for a treat. Please read the author's introduction. There is a lot of good info there. The Tab system is the older style. It should take about 30 seconds to adjust. It's actually easier to read than the current form. If you consider yourself a Rock guitarist instead of Blues, you really could use this book. If you use these solos as a "how to", instead of just memorizing them, they will give you some new weapons. You know, for scaring the heck out of other guitarists.

Wonderful seller - the book was perfect and I received it right away. I highly recommend this seller!

From his humble upbringing in the midwest to the European theater of operations in WWII, every page of this classic saga will keep your eyes and heart rivited to the page. This tale of tank driver Leonard M. Noble puts you in the shoes of an impressionable young man just trying to make his way in the world.
A must read.

Gray Temple turns the subject of homelessness over again and asks the reader to plan to get involved, on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis with the homeless - our next door neighbors. This Episcopal priest knows his material - he lived with the homeless during a summer while on sabbatical. This is a great collection of practical ways to give - that it might be given back to you again, and again, and again!

John Gray relates the exciting story of the 8th Air Force's 55th Fighter Group in this nicely produced book by John Lambert's Specialty Press.

Gray has clearly done his research, interviewing many 55th FG veterans and their German adversaries along with combing through old microfilm records to produce a comprehensive, nicely written record of the "Double Nickel" Group. Along the way he has assembled a wonderful collection of photos of group personnel and their P-38 and P-51 mounts, Luftwaffe aircraft and gun camera images. To that was added some nicely done color profiles by John Valo. Great value for the price!

The 55th Fighter Group, created in 1940, flew its first missions with the 8th Air Force in October 1943. At that time the American B-17 and B-24 formations were suffering crippling losses due to the lack of fighter escort. Despite problems with the P-38, the Group valiantly provided that protection, saving many U.S. bombers from attack but suffering losses in return.

The Group really hit its stride once it re-equipped with the P-51 in July 1944. Along with scoring air kills, the 55th took to strafing with a passion. By war's end, thanks to efforts of Group pilots like Jack Jenkins, John Landers, Bob Buttke, Ed Giller, Bob Welch and the great strafer ace "Eager El" Righetti, the 55th had racked up 303 air kills and 283 ground kills.

If you are interested in 8th Air Force fighter groups, you should pick up a copy of this book. It's a winner!

These group of essays methodically and from a variety of view points attempt to show just how damaging the infamous photos and the acts of depravity they have exposed are. The book also explores the collective conscience and political climate that has existed in order for such unbelievable and inhuman behavior to occur. Highly recommended.

Jason Gray's chapbook offers us a poet well on his way to a fine full-length collection. He evokes Chaucer through a "Parliament of Crows" who "feed off your vertigo and are kind"; he envisions an "Origami Zoo" of "folded animals and watercolor map" whose denizens, "tightly folded and in place," could be left for an ex-lover; and, in the title poem, Adam and Eve reverse direction to stand before the front gates of a zoo: "Adam is drawn to bears: the bloated mass/Of brown fur, heavy pawed," while Eve presses against the glass to watch "the gorilla, bigger than she,/Whom she imagines she could fit inside." Gray's poems, witty and tender, are worthy of multiple readings and show evidence of impressive craft and emotional range. He is a young poet to watch closely, and his poems are a pleasure to read.

The story is about a eleven year boy named Adam.Young Adam was A minstrel who is wating for his father to come.When finaly Roger his father comes to take him.But on the way on the roads from the thirteenth century england.Jenkin comes and takes Adams dog nick.Roger and Adam are in for the adventure of thier life.

With something like 70% of books starting with the line "Due to the lack of a good beginners book..." it is a relief to find something that assumes you already know how to meditate. It's a shame this one is out of print (at the date of this review).
