   Mr. Yarbrough, this comment may lean a touch towards being biased, considering that I took the cover photograph; but Paul’s “The Old Man of Naukeag” is all your review claims it to be. I have and keep a complimentary hard cover copy on my night stand–along with two of my favorites…The Holy Bible and Gilbran’s “The Prophet.”

   I think this book is not only a pleasure to read, but also holds an important message for each of us to take in our own quiet way – it appeals to all of us individually in different ways but is a universal reflection that really brings home the stuff that we all seem to forget all too often.

     I agree, Tom. The Old Man of Naukeag, holds a little bit of ’something’ for most everyone.
     Oh, thank you so much for the COVER… I am still receiving inquires as to its origination and design.

   All I have to say at this point is WOW!!! The first I recieved your book.. I read quite a bit before putting it down. In reading about Naukeag and the Lake House, I had to laugh. I laughed for many reasons–oh so many memories– and at the same time I couldn’t stop myself from crying. I don’t know why I cried and laughed at the same time; but it was a good feeling.
   In continuing to read your words, I found that my past returned easily to my mind. Your tales allowed me to look at where I had been and all I can say is wow.
   I need to read this book a little bit at a time because it does something to me that I can’t quite explain. I am truly liking The Old Man of Naukeag and want it to last forever. I Love it!! Thanks for signing it for me. That makes me feel special.

     Dear Lisa, believe me when I say: it has ALL been my pleasure. I am so pleased that you are enjoying it…(I was somewhat sure that ‘you’ would).
     Paul
