One of the things that makes the RB's so good are all the little nice touches. Just got done rereading one of my least favorites: The Egyptian Cat. In the...
I'm puzzled why so many have said Egyptian Cat is a "least favorite." I've always thought pretty highly of the book and enjoyed each re-read. A fewe of...
I didn't like to book very much, as it seemed to be the first of the "travelogue" books. However, last month I read it again, and liked it a lot better than...
It was with great delight that I received an e-mail letter from Peter Harkins, thanking me for the two letters I had sent him, through Alex. The contents were...
I was just thinking about the high level of the writing in Rick Brant and I remembered a few words that I grossly mispronounced. At the time I never looked up...
Interesting you should mention macadam. This method of paving is named after John MacAdam. See this link: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/SCmacadam.htm I...
Not RB related, but on the topic of mispronunciations, my kids have always favored "naked" as a single syllable, as if it were derived from the verb "to nake,"...
Gang, Just finished Flaming Mountain in my latest re-read of the canon. I was looking at the cover illustration and noticed that the Sky Wagon is represented...
An occupational hazard when one picks up one's vocabulary from reading. Me, I used to think the place where trains came in was the "dee-pot." After a lot of...
I'm always interested in the time frames of the RB stories. Clearly Rick and Scotty have more free time from High School than one would think. I would guess...

Of course, in Grosset & Dunlap land, Rick and Scotty are sorta time slipping, having all of these adventures while not aging apreciably. My question is, if...
Who cares, They are fiction, the best of the best, only a little better than Ken Holt. That is my two cents worth, or, now with inflation, $10.00 as a low...

Mark, I guess it depends on which Cessnas you look at! I have a friend who owned a "Cessna Model 182 Skywagon RG" which I flew several times in the late '70s....
