Reviews

On Sep 7 2008, Feeney said:
There are more reasons than one to read Pete Ritzer's SEVEN OX SEVEN. *** First, to find out what the title means. Hint: Christians should forgive their enemies seventy times seven times. *** Next, for a good yarn about Texas families in search of tick-free locations in the Panhandle to fatten up beeves in winter for the railhead in Dodge City, Kansas. *** Third, for huge dollops of geology, weather, gadgetry and cameo appearances of real figures from the post-civil war west like cattleman Charles Goodnight and Dodge City's most famous dentist, Doc Holliday. *** Obstacles to reading include excursions into Catholic theology. The book at times feels like a prelude to the Second Vatican Council (1962 - 1965). The written style is stiking, more resembling 19th century historical novelists than Wouk or Michener. Curious resemblance to psalm texts, with one sentence being echoed by the following over and over, mainly through frequent repetition of individual words. *** All in all a good read: apparently more fact than fiction. -OOO-

About Browse Awhile Books

We've provided used and out-of-print books to western Ohio readers and collectors since 1980 through our retail store. We have been an active online bookseller since 1997, when we were among the first generation of Bibliofind and ABE vendors. We work hard to offer a variety of interesting books, priced competitively, graded and described honestly, delivered promptly and pleasantly. Our 2,000+ square feet shop is located in the heart of the Old Tipp City Historic District, among more than 50 antique and arts shops. We're open 11AM-5PM Tuesday through Friday and 11AM-4PM Saturday. We're a two-minute drive from I-75, about 15 minutes north of Dayton, Ohio. Our current inventory consists of approximately 200,000 books, about 1/3 of which are in the online inventory. A word about descriptions...we attempt to grade and describe books as accurately as possible, so that you will know exactly what you are buying. We want our customers to order with confidence and to reorder with pleasure - if you receive anything other than what you expect, we prefer that it is because we've exceeded your expectations. Many of our books are described as being within Brodart covers or protective sleeves. These are the sort of clear covers that you find on library books, though (of course!) we do not affix them to the book in any way. Virtually all dust-jacketed books are within Brodart covers, whether so described or not.
