A Colossus Astride Two Nations [ No Rating ] 8 Sep 2008
The Journal of Ride Theory stands erect with one foot firmly planted in a forest of attentive and original research, the other foot just as firmly planted in a field of whimsy and delight. Let no home go without a copy of the Journal of Ride Theory.
Dan & Dem Rides [ No Rating ] 2 Jul 2008
I used to buy Ride Thoery zines whenever they came out, so I'm glad that Dan slapped them all into a book. It's a wonderful read! Being a Space Age neard, I enjoyed the World's Fair section. Thanks for the book and I hope to see more soon.

I had read Dan's "Journal of Ride Theory" fanzines years ago, and then earlier this year (2006) met him again at the APE (Amateur Press Exposition) in San Francisco and purchased the paperback version of the "Omnibus". Well written and entertaining and well laid out. It allowed me to trust Lulu in publishing my own "The Best of The Harveyville Fun Times!"
