The Best of Crunch and Des

Review: Still fresh and fascinating, Philip Wylie's Crunch and Des stories about deep-sea fishing charter boatmen. These were first published as short stories in the Saturday Evening Post which we read avidly every Thursday afternoon after school in the late 1940's.

Oliver Wiswell

Review: An amazing account of what happened to us New Englanders during the seven years following the Fight at the Concord Bridge. American history completely unknown to me. This fills the gap between the confrontation with our Minutemen and the Declaration of Independence. Should be required reading in our secondary schools; truth more exciting than fiction by a revered historian and action writer.
