REVIEWS OF ROLLINS PASS (2018)
“Great history captured in this book: Excellent reading and great historic photos. Some of the photos you can visit the exact same location to see how it looks today. Book stays on a bedside table in our guest room for visiting guests to read and learn about the area.” —Amazon Review
“Great book and wonderful photos: Wonderful book. Still can’t get over some of the photos in this book, which I’ve never seen before. Money very well spent.” —Amazon Review
“An excellent book if you are into the history of man’s conquest of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.” —Amazon Review
“Great book if you follow Rollins Pass. It had some photos I’ve never seen.” —Amazon Review
“The Writing and Photos are Beautiful!! This fascinating book was clearly a labor of love. Anyone interested in history—from Native Americans to the railroad—should definitely add this book to their library!!” —Amazon Review

“Wow, [Rollins Pass] really sings with history, scholarship, fascinating human effort, vivid writing…” —Emailed Review
“Well done! The photos are exquisite, and extensive! My father would have loved this book…. He had a love for the pass and Moffat Road. Thanks again for your labor of love!” —Emailed Review
“I spent several hours pouring over the book and examining every photograph and I must say bravissimo! What an excellent collection of photos with wonderfully researched descriptions. Your book is truly a masterpiece that has earned its own unique place alongside The Giant’s Ladder, The Moffat Road and Rails that Climb. My only wish is that it was available in a hardcover coffee table version with extra large images! Please let us know if you would ever consider having that published—I’d pay $50-75 for a copy of that and I’m sure others would as well…” —Emailed Review
