Charlie reviewed Big Brown: The Untold Story of UPS
Would never have thought I would enjoy this as much as I have. December 16, 2016 This book not only teaches a history lesson, but it is very much geared toward the values of Jim Casey and how one person could influence a company as large as UPS for over 100 years. Great book for all managers or managers in training. View on Amazon.com Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com

and the sections are broken up in a way that makes it easy to look up stories from one particular area October 21, 2016 Very readable, and the sections are broken up in a way that makes it easy to look up stories from one particular area. Much of the stories Baja Legends covers can be found in greater depth in other books, but this is good as an overview or brief introduction. The book is legends as much as history - there are several accounts in here, such as supposedly gold-rich 'lost mission' of Santa Isabel, which are certainly more fiction than fact. But it's a good, readable overview of many of the more colorful episodes and characters of this part of the world. View on Amazon.com, Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com

"Best book on Las Vegas"
By Res3366 on September 5, 2015
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This is by and far the best book I found on Las Vegas history, culture, and what is going on. Stops about 2010 so what has happened after that isn't in here but I really enjoyed reading the book, couldn't put it down, and wanted more info.

James reviewed Big Brown: The Untold Story of UPS

New! Martin Goldsmith reviewed Baja Legends: The Historic Characters, Events, and Locations That Put Baja California on...
Wants more. September 18, 2015 Having spent a great deal of time, over many years, in Baja California, I am aware of most of places and people that Niemann describes. It was was enjoyable to lose myself in his narrative. My complaint is the limitation of trying to cram the story into too small a basket. The omission of wonderful details of some of the material I know from first-hand makes me wish that there were more details about things with which I am less familiar. If you are a 'newbie', you will be amused and astonished. If you are an old hand, you will be unsatisfied'. I'd love to meet with Niemann and spin yarns.

Testimonials (Book endorsements)
I have been honored by being asked by various authors to read their books pre-publication for suggestions and comments.

The authors have appreciated it and gave me recognition. I have a testimonial on the back cover of Secrets of Sierra Fishing by Jack Holder, and a thank you blurb in The Informants by La Paz based author R. J. Archer for previewing that book.

My newest one is a blurb on the back cover of Baja California Land of Missions, a new book by David Kier which came out in Feb, 2016. I also helped proof an advance copy.



Here is the back cover of last year's The Old Missions of Baja & Alta California 1697-1834 by Max Kurillo, Erline Tuttle and David Kier:
