What does the media have to say about Ken Stanton's Books?

Reviews of Mount St. Helena :

From Best of the Napa Valley "Loaded with trivia about the mountain, this book is part historical, part naturalist handbook, part hiker's companion. The author shows a sincere love for the area". From Napa Valley Appellation Magazine, September 1995 "Stanton is perhaps the ideal guide to the mountain and park: he is an experienced explorer and mountain climber ... He has a hiker's prose style ... slowing down only for things worth studying ... Stanton includes commendably complete information on flora and fauna, geology, hikes and bike trails, and more. From Sonoma County Independent, May 1994 "Stanton ... drew on unpublished manuscripts, local lore, and interviews with long-time residents. He has pulled together an entertaining, coherent account punctuated with stories both humorous and bizarre".

Reviews of Great Day Hikes :

Sunset Magazine, September 1997 "Most visitors to the Napa Valley arrive with a purely gustatory agenda: wine tasting followed by a great meal in one of the area's many fine restaurants. But the valley offers outstanding hiking as well, and this book visits 16 locations with about 40 individual hikes. Along with extensive trail notes for most of the hikes, the guide presents equally in-depth histories of the areas. In fact, reading these engrossing descriptions makes you feel as if you're on a guided tour." San Francisco Examiner, October 6, 1996 "Stanton's book is a rich source of both human and natural history in the Napa Valley, along with accurate, clearly stated trail notes."
