For the reader who likes quality short reads, this newly revised collection, with improved picture quality and 13 new photos, is tailor-made. Longtime columnist and free lance writer Paul Bentley has compiled 42 of his previously published columns and features, and added 12 new ones to the mix. To complement the text there are over 250 photos and illustrations, many never seen before. Nostalgia, humor, satire, history, personality profiles, anecdotal tales, et al., the genres vary. Each selection has an individual introduction, and though many readers have neither been to, nor heard of Bentley's hometown of Torrington, there is a universality to the characters, situations, etc. that make these essays highly relatable and enjoyable.
