I have to say that I really enjoyed "the frog"
stories, good on you.

Thank you for all the pearls of wisdom - I
really enjoyed the Frog in my Throat book, as well as the excerpts
from Bats in my Belfry. Neil Stakes, Singapore.

Your books really ARE great, Dr Preston.
You should quite rightly be proud of yourself!!
Lorraine Gerber, Giggers Green.

I can't predict how fast Tom will read
Bats in my Belfry, but last
time he read Frog in my Throat
non-stop. He hasn't read anything like that for pleasure,
cover to cover, as long as I have known him.

Enjoying Frog in
my Throat immensely. Recognizing many situations
with our patients and medical doctors.

Frog in my Throat was fun and I like the definition the author gives at the
end of his book, excellent.

Just a note to say that I have just finished
Frog in my Throat, and how much I
thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been inspired, and on some of the
long dingy working days, I think back to your wise words and get
enthusiastic again. Some of your case histories have proven to be
very valuable. I wonder how many times I have missed a cancer or
something else sinister whilst trying to spare the patient a few
rands. Half the time we won't even know what we missed. Thanks for
the inspiration, the laughs and for giving me the upliftment in
chiropractic that I have felt slipping away over the last while. I
can't wait for your next series of adventures.

Thanks for the copy Frog
in my Throat while I was in Durban last. Good luck and
keep those novels coming. Great to see someone write and feature
chiropractic. Enjoy your stay in Europe. Dr Tom Hyde, USA.

What a lovely surprise to receive a copy of your book. You and all
others concerned must be congratulated on a fantastic presentation -
the cover, the typeface, the illustrations - the book has such a
nice 'feel' about it.
Steve Murray, South Africa.
Why a review of a
delightful book of short stories in S.A. Soaring? Well principally
because the author is a member of our S.A. soaring community. Also
because among the twenty-seven gems are a few to do with his gliding
experiences - fun and interesting reading for all of us.
The chief thrust of the short stories revolves around his life as a
chiropractor in a small town in the KZN midlands. He claims that the
people he writes about are entirely fictitious but you cannot help
but believe that 'only the names have been changed'. The
characterisations are so true-to-life that they remind you of people
you also know. Even non-medical people will find interest in the
variety of patients he has profiled and the difficulties and joys
that his profession has brought him in his chosen profession.
A man of many parts - teacher, hiker/climber, squash player
(retired), bee-keeper, birder, fly-fisherman, carpenter, general
hobbyist (sundials a speciality), motor cyclist...and glider pilot -
all these aspects of his full life (a family man, not least) come
into play in the stories - to keep your interest alive.
Yes, 'frog in my throat' has a basis in fact - a patient presented
with just such a problem; flirting patients and one that finally
caused a scandal to burst around him ... you will have to read the
book yourself to learn the fascinating details.
An excellent companion to have with you whilst you are waiting for
the thermals to pop, or for your turn to fly...FROG IN MY THROAT, by
Bernard Preston D.C. Enjoy.
Steve Murray (Safety Officer SASS)
