Baker, author of The Gentleman's Companion, was in an enviable position; free to roam the world, with style, before modernity rolled the earth flat for commerce.

This is not to say that the ...             Secretariat, Updated Edition29 reviews Raymond G. Woolfe The Derrydale Press, 2001 Fantastic book This book is an amazing "biography" of Secretariat, as well as the people and other horses that were closest to him.

Hunting the Hard Way is the best book I have ever read. This book is about the adventures of Howard Hill and others that accompanied him on his hunting trips.

The most amazing shot in my opinion was at an elk at over ...             Grouse Feathers4 reviews Burton L.

Many gifted writers have turned their talents to both the beauties and practicalities of fishing; yet Bergman ...             Tales of Swordfish and Tuna2 reviews Zane Grey The Derrydale Press, 2000 A Very Good Read This is a very good book as far as reading goes.

There is one caution - the author assumes that you're already familiar with the mechanics of cooking (he even says so in his introduction). You need to have a familiarity with pre-WWII geography and history. He writes about receipts (not recipes; he explains why that term is used in the book) that he got at British ...             Fox, Fin & Feather: Tales from the Field (Derrydale Press Foxhunter's Library)1 review Henry Hooker The Derrydale Press, 2001 Everyone will love this book I am not a sportsman; I do not ride, hunt, fish, or shoot.
