This book is an excellent, well-produced source of data and details on coal cars on the Pennsylvania Railroad. It is not, however, a detailed history of coal mining operations served by the P Company. The book will be extremely useful to modelers looking for information on PRR coal cars.

As an avid scratchbuilder, this book offered wonderful insights, diagrams and modeling techniques for reproducing these Hoppers. Though not strictly a book for modelers, I believe that modelers will get the most use out of it.

David Dodd has assembled a wide variety of stories to inspire and encourage addicted people to get clean. I was impressed that Twelve Step groups were NOT the focus of every tale, and that the one constant was that each individual made a PERSONAL CHOICE to forego their addiction and live sober. For all the help some people get from 12-Step groups, there are many who don't "relate" to the religiousity. But this book shows that recovery is still possible and worthwhile. The fact that most of these tales are told by celebrities and artists we KNOW only increases their value. Plus, it's nice to know that my gut feeling about Steven Tyler is "on the money" - he truly IS a mensch!!

I was attracted to the many well-known names listed on the cover, but once I began reading the book, I was overwhelmed with its passion and solutions. David Dodd has done a remarkable job which is reflected in this collection of interviews. My favorite part, however, is the introduction to the book, where the author tells his personal story on how he became sober with the help of Steven Tyler. His vivid description of the events were astonishing to me, they were absolutely incredible. This is a wonderful book!
