Crosscurrents: A Fly Fisher's Progress

James R. Babb

The Lyons Press, 2002

Nicely done
Perhaps my title is insufficient. The progress is more or less identical to what any reasonable human being would want in the late 20th and early 21'st century. A man of insight, regrets, decent moral grounding and capable of facing the difficulties of the realities ...

Traditional American Farming Techniques, 2nd (Traditional)

Frank D. Gardner

The Lyons Press, 2007

Traditional Amarican Farming Techniques, 2nd
Wow what a mammoth with over 1000 pages with very little information in it. This book has so many categories that it doesn't have much information on any 1 thing. I was so excited to get this book I was hoping that it would have information on how to build different ...
