Comments From Our Readers:
Five Kids For One Penny
by Charlotte Birsinger and C.F. Stewart
This brilliantly written and non-stop-entertaining book FIVE KIDS FOR ONE PENNY is "Priceless"! BUCKLE UP FOR A WHIRLWIND OF A REMARKABLE READ, from a remarkable woman who shares her "gutzy and glorious" 92 years of life, and is still at it! It reads like watching a full-boat movie – action-packed, side-splitting-laughter to tears; (and yes, tears for her courageous times of sorrow, too). You'll be in awe of her extraordinary spirited inspiration, of how all us us, too, should strive to live long and productive lives!

An everyday description of our culture before WWII. The book shows the strength and savvy of one woman and her family as they thrive and prosper in entrepreneurial America. The authors use simple and direct language to convey wit and humor in this charming book….Five Kids for One Penny.

Unflappable: The Life and Times of Whitney Reed
by C.F. Stewart
Thank you for the good read. Your book went by much too fast . . .
- Dick Keiser Alameda, CA.
Stewart captures the essence of one of the most unique and talented tennis players of the '50s and '60s. Having lived with Whitney at San Jose State, chauffered him to several tourneys in the bay area, and shared quite a few beers and played poker, California gin rummy and bar shuffleboard with Reed,the author doesn't exaggerate his exploits on or off the court. There are those who wonder just how great a player he might have been by carrying out a healthier lifestyle, but I think that most of his friends would admit that his "unflappable" nature made him what he was. I treasure the memories I shared with him, and the author creates a vibrant picture of an athlete that is deserving of recognition in print and for those tennis aficianados who aren't familiar with players whot toiled before the big money, live TV era.

As a teenager growing up in Alameda and playing tennis on the park courts, you couldn't help but know about Whitney Reed. He was a treasure of the tennis world waiting to be discovered. The author, Court Stewart, has captured his life on and off the tennis courts remarkably well. I found the book very entertaining and interesting.

I'm only a horse racing spectactor, not a bettor, but I enjoyed the colorful and humerous accounts of Ross' life and the cast of characters he encountered.
