Dobie has a wonderful way of weaving stories about the gold hunters as if you were sitting around a campfire and eating up every word. Some stories are based on legends that may never be verified, others are meticulously chased down and exposed for what they really are. In any reader's hand it's a "fast" read!

I was introduced to Dobie as a small child, and still love his work. This book is classic dobie: Lost mines and American Indian tresure. The first half, regarding the Lost Adams Mine, is particularly enjoyable. I read this book and begin to plan my trip to find the object of the story. Truly, the stories are tresure enogh. Anyone who has ever dreamed of finding welth, or who enjoys south-western folklore will love this book

This book was okay but it would be for very young kids I read this book to my younger brother and he seems to enjoy it every time I read it to him.

Bravo to Stan and Jan!Once again they have created A truly wonderful childrens book, full of humor, thrills, and knoledgable facts. With it's classic characters, themes, and illistruations, It is garauntied to be a true hit on the children's book market. This book tells children about a mystyicle feature of this earth, and does a good job on telling about something that very little is known about. The triangle could appeer frightening to young children, but, with all the humor and light heartedness of the characters, this book could not cause nightmares. Good Job, Stan and Jan, you've done it again!

This suspenseful science fiction adventure for kids, ages 10-14, has exciting action that whisks two kids from a small town in Heartland America to the City of Balee, located beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Don Stafford's explanation of how the tiny citizens of Balee have managed to survive under their protective dome is a science lesson in oceanography. The story has humor, as well as good values--courage, empathy, and creativity. For a first novel, this book is great.

I felt this book was very interesting,it gave lots of facts,was written so anyone could read and understand,exciting,lots of science,history ,humor ,fiction and some science fiction and could just let your imagination let you feel you was in the adventure with the kids.I think this reading is fit for all ages and even being a grandmother I enjoyed it very much . Feel a book like this can whet a childs appetite for science adventure's and can make them want to continue reading just for the enjoyment of reading.

This glued-softcover features all the principle towns and islands of the Antilles. It also includes the directions for and descriptions of all that is worth seeing. Great for planning your vacation. Then book comes with a fold out map of the Caribbean.

This well-written book is more than just a summary of why you should go to Bermuda. Beginning with an overview of its raucous history, supported by woodcuts and pictures of documents, it goes on to capture the major monuments and places in stunning color, supported by succinct descriptive prose. If you can't go there, at least you can visit it in pictures.

You will find a few problems in trying to identify this book exactly. Hannau cites 3 publishers: Doubleday, Argos and Hale. The Hale uses colour for color, but the others use color. Hale also has an ISN but the others an LC #. That number appears in the Argos, but LC lists the Doubleday under that number. LC also states that the popular edition is "The Bermuda Isles in Full Color." The Doubleday is dated 1970. The Argos is identified as "revised edition" and many sellers give it a 1973 date, from where I do not know. The Argos of Miami is stated to have been printed in Spain. Confused? Me too. In any form, it is a good book.

The author manages to apply subtle humor to specific incidents. Although I did not relate to all of the scenarios presented in the book, I did find myself laughing audibly throughout the text. I am sure that there is more personal significance to some of the illustrations that is unclear to the reader; however, I believe the artistry of Gifford truely captures the comedic intent.

Overall, I find the book to be refreshing. I enjoy the mental stimulation required to comprehend some of the humor. I find myself occassionally referring back to Bermuda Pie-Angle for a good laugh or to share with others. Question is? When is Gifford going to release another book?

This book is the best book and perhaps the only book that gives special emphasis to seashells found in Puerto Rico. Scientific as well as popular listing of the shells is included. The textual description of the shells is quite adequate. Also, a general location of where the shells can be found is frequently included. On a less positive note, most all the pictures are in black and white and often the resolution leaves something to be desired. In all fairness, the book is in need of an update being last published in 1975. Since its last publication, several new shells previously unlisted or listed as "not found" have indeed been located. In spite of these few short comings, this book is still an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Puerto Rican seashells.

Fielding's tends to be a bit more critical than Fodor or Frommer, to review in more depth. I prefer them to other guides. While the descriptions are brief, the star ratings do give a better perspective on how to spend time and dollars. I'll be using this one to plan my vacation

Alot of good mysteries about sea creatures and odd happenings. It is a good read. The only problem is it ends with you wanting more stories!

If you're interested in reading about the Bermuda Triangle, then this is the place to start. Overall it's one of the better books on the subject.
