Destined to be a Southern classic, Bragg's "All Over But the Shoutin'" rings true. It is not only a well-written, journalist's memoir, but offers readers who aren't from the South an insightful look at why Southern men often act as they do. On the one hand the book ...
Wooden Churches: A Celebration
Algonquin Books

I originally bought this book because Rick Bragg wrote the introduction to it. It goes without saying that his intro alone is worth the price of the book. But I was also elated to rediscover avenues of reading to follow. Accompanying the marvelous photos are ...

Redbirds: Memories from the South (Panther)
Rick Bragg
Harvill Pr
, 1999
Buyer Beware
I give this book a five star rating-the same rating I would give ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTIN'-because it is exactly the same book. It is printed on cheaper paper and doesn't have the pictures, but the text is the same. If this information is anywhere in the listing for ...
