Experienced bikers, Stuart and Jensen have written an excellent introductory book on the sport of mountain biking. Starting with choosing the right bike and covering topics like hill climbing and descent, the great trails and how to find them, and mountain bike racing, this well-written book covers all the questions a beginner is likely to have. The chapter on basic maintenance is especially good, providing clear instructions and helpful hints to basic bike repair and upkeep. Although this book is aimed at women by title, everything here-with the exception of the introduction-will prove useful for any beginning mountain bike rider. A good addition to most public libraries. Lisa J. Cochenet, Winfield P.L., Ill.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. -- From Library Journal

Windgalore Farm is a charming, and detailed, recollection of growing up on an Ohio farm in the 1940s. Dave Williams has a knack for conveying the sights, sounds, and smells of the old homestead, and the reader is drawn into another world of farm chores, rural adventures and home town events, large and small. The folks of Hinckley, Ohio had plenty to say, and the author has a wonderful gift of recalling their humor and practical wisdom.
