Summary: Vermont Peole by Peter Miller
Review: Growing up in Hudson Falls, a small town in upstate Ny near the Vermont border,it brought me back home, now that I live in Oklahoma. I have a sister that lives in Ludlow Vt. After reading the book and not visited there in such a long time, it took me back. The black & white photos have shown a technique that a lot of photographers have forgotten.The book was very well illistrated, the soft lights and shadows caught my eye in a sence that time has set still for that one split momet. I felt that Mr. Miller topped the cake with this book. I hope that he continues this type of work for a long time.

Summary: a fine book about some mighty gutsy people
Review: I didn't think I was going to like this book when I picked it up last night. The wife and I were staying in a friend's home outside Woodstock, VT, it was hot, the light was poor, and here I was starting a book about rural Vermonters. Mind you, I grew up in San Angelo, TX, and there are some intensely rural folk in that locale, but these were Yankees!

Suffice it to say, I read the book through last night, and looked it up on amazon.com today to see if I could buy a copy. It's beautifully written and photographed; you usually get one or the other, but Peter Miller gives you both. Buy it, then visit the area; it'll make you appreciate your soft life in the city.
