"With such environmental credentials, ecologically minded reviewers may be accused of ignoring the warts in Foghorn publications. But it is difficult to find any warts with the Foghorn Press."

"The Foghorn Press is a foghorn ~ a beacon of sorts, a guide for the wayward and lost, a fixed signal showing those without direction how to find their way...Foghorn Press is the aptly named Publisher of comprehensive how-to-find guides that tell you, well, how to find just about anything outdoors."
