Book Reviews of Tales from the Edge: True Adventures in Alaska
Book Review: A great collection
Summary: 4 Stars
Author Larry Kaniut, puts his experience as writer and editor together and complies a good selection from Alaska adventures from some of the best adventure writers on the alaskan scene, including some who have left us. A good collection and a enjoyable read.
I would also recommend, Flying North South East and West, another book that captures a seldom bit of Alaska aviaiton history, that included an Alaska company that ended up flying worldwide cargo, and jet passenger service in Alaska.
Flying North South East and West: Arctic to the Sahara
