Small quarto. xiv, [2], 251pp. Illustrated with 104 black & white drawings plus 2 more on jacket. Red cloth stamped in black and gold. Very slight rubbing to foot of spine, neat contemporary owner's name and date (1933) on endpaper. A very fine copy with lightly worn pictorial dust jacket. "Full of 42 short stories and monographs, this fascinating book has more detail and more accurate cowboy lore that is in any other book anywhere. If you can't find answers to your cow and horse work questions here they probably don't exist... the most varied, most diversely illustrated and most fully informative about the cowboy way of life of all the 24 Will James' books... If you want one of the best and most varied examples of Will James black-on-white art, then perhaps one of the best single places to find it is in this book" (Frazier).
