"Ain't Life 'a Hoot - The Life & Times of a Country Dentist".

Dr. A.W. Sibley is the author of all three volumes that comprise "Ain't Life 'a Hoot - The Life & Times of a Country Dentist". The true-life stories found in this delightful autobiography share some of the most entertaining and sometimes almost unbelievable accounts of life while growing up, raising a family, and establishing a dental practice in the Deep South. From his earliest remembrances of rural and Southern small-town life, Dr. Sibley takes a graphically written trip down memory lane that grabs the imagination of the reader and does not let go until the end of the last detail. Volume One begins with true stories taken from his childhood memories. It continues through the telling of events that take him from rural farm-life into young adulthood. A stint in the U.S. Army is followed by the pursuance of his dreams of becoming a self-employed professional. With the assistance of the G.I. Bill and hard work, Dr. Sibley is able to obtain a doctorate degree in Dentistry at the most prestigious Dental School in the country.

"Ain't Life 'a Hoot - The Life & Times of a Country Dentist" Volume Two contains reflections upon the 30 years that Dr. Sibley experienced as an "old time" general family dental practitioner in rural America. Educational and entertaining, this volume contains snippets of life that reflect a dedicated work ethic combined with unique dental chair experiences. Dr. Sibley manages to capture and describe an era of dental care that spans 30 years and provides a compelling picture of a life dedicated to total quality family dentistry. Told with grace and humor, the many anecdotes in this book offer insight into what it was like to be a family dentist during the early formative years of the practice of preventive dentistry.

While providing true insight into a professional life dedicated to offering top quality dental services, Dr. Sibley also offers a remarkable glimpse into Southern culture as seen from the perspective of the dental chair. From colloquialisms to hunting, fishing, forming lifetime friendships and professional associations, his stories share the experiences found in "the trenches" of rural dental care.

Volume Three of "Ain't Life 'a Hoot - The Life & Times of a Country Dentist" is a wonderfully descriptive book that tells of various Western USA big game hunting adventures experienced by Dr. Sibley and his closest friends and associates. If you have ever wondered what the true life stories are of those who are dedicated to the western big game hunt lifestyle, then this book covers it all. Follow along as Dr. Sibley tells of the  adventures of himself and others as they trekked the west each fall in search of giant mule deer, elk, antelope, bear and whatever else they were lucky enough to draw a tag for.

All three volumes of "Ain't Life 'a Hoot - The Life & Times of a Country Dentist" blend together to make up an extraordinary read about a time and place in the beloved Deep South of the United States of America. Life was simple, the rule of law in small towns was that everyone knew everyone else's business and people generally cared for one another. It is that special sense of Christian community that shines through in the telling of Dr. Sibley's life. By reading the Volumes in the order of One, Two, and Three, one will be able to take a trip back to those "good old days" when love for family, church and country, and a good day's work for a good day's pay, were part of the values learned. All three volumes are hard to put down once one starts to read them. They are all historical, readable, and infinitely funny. Truly a treasure, "Ain't Life 'a Hoot - The Life & Times of a Country Dentist" is really more than a personal story, it is a treasure study of the Depression years through to the present time in America that modern and future generations will never know.
