1994, 1st edition. 180 pp. The story-telling master has done it again! Here are more exciting and original escapades. Long is the master of thrill-seeking writing! Paperback (only edition), used, VG-Fine.
This is my favorite book, and possibly Long's best (ROCK JOCKS... is more factual and interesting but less entertaining.) This collection of Long's short stories, drawn from his incredible personal experiences, is creative, adventurous, and riveting as ever, but here he has truly perfected his writing style which flows seemlessly. 'My Friend Phil' is worth the purchase price alone, and is the roaring gut laugh til you are crying funniest prose in the history of the english language. Any outdoors person with a pulse must own this book!
Yet another anthology from John Long, however, this time it's all his own stuff, which is infinitely better than a collection of other writers. This includes some fiction, based on fact, and fact. Some stuff is repeated here from his previous books and instructional rock climbing guides. Surprise! `Green Arch' again. This does, however, still has enough new stuff to keep any John Long fan happy.
