Customer Reviews

A good book for Eiseley fans

This is a lovely book - if you are an Eisely fan. I agree with the previous reviewer that this should not be the first book you select if you've never read Eiseley. (Start with The Immense Journey or The Star Thrower.) However, if you are a fan, this is a nice book to add to your collection. This book contains snippits of things from Eiseley's notes, presented as a collection. It doesn't flow like his other books, but there are things here that would be difficult to find outside of library archives.
