Friendship Fires

My husband loves the outdoors as our children did while growing up. Our son still enjoys being outdoors - camping, fishing, hunting. This is a great book for people who enjoy these activities. Sam Cook is an excellent writer.

Outstanding book by Cook

I took Friendship Fires with me on a recent camping trip to read around the fire.. I am a big fan of Mr. Cook, having read many of his columns in the Duluth News Tribune. This book is a collection of his columns over a number of years. The book is composed of many short "stories" that are put together into the book in a logical fashion. The content of the book is outstanding, and will make you laugh, and will also make you stop sometimes and just contemplate the story. The book makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
