Sobre este artículo
Basin, WY: Wolverine Gallery, 1989. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the half title page. Near Fine condition. Flat, uncreased spine. Pages are clean and unmarked. Photo illustrated. From the rear cover: "The prairies have vanished and the great cattle drives are history, but the modern cowboy still rides and ropes, still spends hundreds of hours away from home, and still carries the proud heritage of his forefathers. He's a professional rodeo cowboy. GOLD BUCKLE DREAMS is about one such cowboy: Chris LeDoux, the 1976 World Champion Bareback Rider. But more than that, it is the true story of a clean-cut, gentle, quiet, and unassuming American cowboy who made a dream come true. And in the process discovering - and willingly paying - the price it takes to become the best in the world. On the road, Chris meets up with all you'd expect to encounter while trying to make it in the most dangerous sport on the North American continent: the heartbreaks and camaraderie, the knocks and injuries, inadequate prizes, long dry spells between wins when cowboys are sleeping 16 to a room and living on pork & beans, the help and advice of veteran rodeo cowboys, the crazy antics, pranks, and practical jokes, and the hard-won victories. Showcased are some of the hundreds of rodeo and cowboy songs that Chris LeDoux has written and performed over a decade, songs about his life and the lives of other cowboys and ranchers. If you've ever listened to one of his tunes on your radio, now you'll understand the meaning behind those hard-earned memories. Even if you've never been to a rodeo or known a real live cowboy, if you've ever had a dream or reached for the top, GOLD BUCKLE DREAMS is a must-read for you.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Wolverine edition (so stated). Softcover. Near Fine condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. x, 231pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
