The Broad Arrow: Australia meets Robin Hood , Jesse James, and Butch Cassidy and more in this yarn set in the Land Down Under. John haxon, felon, outlaw, thief; a man embittered by the harsh penal code of the country is the main character. This is his story of how he escapes from prison to become a "bushranger" what outlaws are called in Australia, and of how he finds the love that makes life worth living again, and ultimately proves his innocence. "High Adventure" to quote the dust jacket. Any lover of western adventure will love this book as it does indeed remind the reader of the western United States in tone and action. Having been born in England, it is only natural William Raine would want to write something with an English tone; and this is it. And it's a good one.

Sobre Saucony Book Shop
The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
