Seabury Jr. Blair Livres

Here's a book guaranteed to "perk" up your morning coffee break, proving that tall tales can be short. Learn to distinguish a terrorist from a mother and her baby, or how to do the beer curl to get in shape for football season. Meet Stummick, who does nothing but hang out all day, and B.B. Hardbody, a woman of great wisdom and beauty (who would gleefully strangle the author if he wrote anything else). Shake hands with characters like Grizzly Hemingway, a fly fisher who says beer coolers bounce because ale is made with hops. Each story will put a smile on your face and get you through the rest of the day - no matter what kind of geek your boss is.

"The newest addition to the Sasquatch Books Day Hike! series covers Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho--including Spokane, Cour d'Alene, and Sandpoint. The Inland Northwest is a great place to hike, with mountains, rivers, and lakes forming a diverse and breathtaking geography for trails--including the Little Spokane River, Dishman Hills, Deep Creek Canyon, Fish Lake, Lake Coeur d'Alene, and Lake Pend Oreille. The 75 routes in this full-color guidebook are all within a hour drive from Spokane, WA; Coeur d'Alene, ID; or Sandpoint, ID. Each hike includes distance, elevation gain/loss, high point, a topographical map, and a star rating (* means worth taking, ***** means spectacular)"--
