The Nimble Books Blog

Dear readers,

this was a challenging book to put together, not least because the Indonesian archipelago stretches over thousands of miles and is the home to the fourth most populous nation on Earth.   I'm happy with the results.  This is a terrific book for anyone with an interest in Indonesia: a library, a home school, a student, a traveler. 

I strongly urge you to use Search Inside the Book to page through online.  This book contains beautiful maps of population, language, natural resources, and political units, as well as a few surprises that, will, I hope, intrigue and delight. 

Please write and let me know what you think!

Cordially,

Fred Zimmerman

Review of: Tanner on ice by Block, Lawrence

Brilliant premise, but title character & I failed to click. Wound up skimming last 2/3 of book and tossing aside.

Dear readers,

If you enjoyed this book, you may enjoy   Historical Atlas of Indonesia by Robert Cribb.







I have no hesitation in saying that his book is terrific, and I also have no hesitation in saying that my book is quite a bit more cost-effective than his (which rings up at $268.91!) -- and even has nicer color printing!

Of course, you may also want to take a look at:

  Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

George MacDonald Fraser, 82, author of ‘Flashman’ novels - International Herald Tribune

George MacDonald Fraser, a British writer whose popular novels about the arch-rogue Harry Flashman followed their hero as he galloped, swashbuckled, drank and womanized his way through many of the signal events of the 19th century, died Wednesday on the Isle of Man.

This is very sad news. He’s an author whose oeuvre I’d like to own in its entirety.

wfzimmerman's review: "Tor's usually sure-footed publicity team stumbles a bit by identifying William H. Drinkard as a 12-year veteran of the Alabama State Legislature. I am sure that the Alabama State Legislature of today is not the Alabama State Legislature of fifty or a hundred years ago, but it's still not exactly a confidence-inspiring background."
