Customer Reviews

Great reference material -- and entertaining, too
Easily one of my most valuable sources, not to mention a great read for a stormy night. Colombo allows his subjects to tell much of their own stories, adding a welcome sense of authenticity to the tales collected here. From the heartwarming to the bone-chilling, there's enough variety to interest just about everyone.
