This 1998 272 page volume features more than 600 large, great, sharp, mostly color photos of every type of Buffalo Bill collectible, along with values. There's plenty of text to inform the reader. Major topics include Wild West Show Programs, Route Books, Lithographs, Books, Letterheads, Dime Novels, Tobacco, Tickets, Toys, Pinbacks, Postcards, and much more. It's like visiting a Buffalo Bill Museum. Very informative and a joy to read.

As she approaches her 60th birthday, Vicomptesse Eve de Lancel remembers her years as a madcap music hall singer before her marriage into the Lancel champagne family.

Her daughters, beautiful Delphine and the irrepressible Freddy, live adventurous and sometimes scandalous lives. Delphine is a seductive actress and Freddy a flamboyant aviatrix. While Delphine struggles through the German occupation of WWII Paris, Freddy plies the skies of Britain, delivering Spitfires to RAF squadrons. Brother Bruno plots his way to a fortune.

This one's a slow starter but if you're a Krantz fan you won't be disappointed in the last 2/3rds of the book. The characters are unpredictable and once it gets going, readers become more and more involved in the story. It's an entertaining way to spend an afternoon.

I am admittedly not a great fan of Judith Krantz's upperclass, usually eccentric and oversexed protagonists, but this novel about three women (the mother and two daughters) who, in their private way, become heroines of the World Wars, truly impressed me. Krantz weaves a very tight atmosphere around her settings, giving even the most unlikely situations cerrdibility (like one scene where a freight plane plays 'dare' with a Messerschmitt propelled fighter-and wins!)

This and other slightly unhistorical accounts are what made me subtract a star from the rating, but as far as reading pleasure goes, I could not put this book down. I started it at around ten p.m., and was still at it by five in the morning, so well had the characters and the storylines caught me.

I recommend reading this book, so long as you're not looking for a lesson in European history, but for a story and protagonists that you can feel for.

It was action packed. A wonderful saga with a bit of romance. The characters came alive, especially Mac!!
