New reading material just arrived--I blame you for this Dean :)

[King Cobb]

A few months back I made the mistake of clicking on a thread titled Quail Books.

While perusing the conversation, I saw a beautiful copy of Mark Right by Nash Buckingham posted by Dean. Well after searching out a decent priced copy I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. I then set off in pursuit of finding more of these fine leather bound books at lower prices then they are often posted at. Well it took me a couple of months, but I have now procured two more Volumes of Nash's writtings at what I considered to be a good price. Haven't read them yet as they just arrived, but the newest additions are Bloodlines and De Shootnest Gentman. I look forward to reading them and yes Dean I very much blame you for this new collecting spree.

As I said I am buying them at resonable prices....IE I am cheap and wait till I find a copy that is cheaper then most of them are going for.

I never could warm up to Nash's writing style. There are some great books listed on that thread. Winter is coming and good reading material is a must.

I prefer Rutledge but I do enjoy buckingham storytelling.

I enjoy Buckinghams writing. De Shootinest Gentleman takes you back to the days that make me long for hunts like those. That's a nice collection you have started there.

nothing wrong with cheap - er I mean frugal

as with many other pursuits - the hunt is half the fun

Those look like the Derrydale reprint editions put out by Doug Mauldin back in the early 90's and marketed as The 50 Greatest Books of the Derrydale Press. Not all are exact copies of the early Derrydales, but some are quite close, and they are all are nice reading copies and presentable editions for not a lot of money. I subscribed to the series at the time and bought them all; I wish they hadn't stopped at fifty. You can still find them on ebay quite often. Hope you enjoy them!

Well Bill, I humbly accept the blame, but the decision is yours alone whether o continue collecting great titles by great authors.

Buckingham can't be equaled in the style he uses - after all, he invented it and was a master at it. You will fully appreciate his writing after you've finished those two. But by all means, don't stop there.

Oh, I have been on the downs lope of collecting great authors long before this and I am certain it shall continue on.

Phil, these two are the derrydale reprints, my copy of Mark Right was printed in 1944 based on the 2nd copyright date.
