Description:
New York, NY: Center Street. New in Near Fine dust jacket. 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. SIGNED BY Bill Fitzhugh. Born in the liner notes of their #1 hit albums, the alter egos of country legends Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn spring to life in their debut novel. When they met, it was like a head-on collision. It all starts with a chance meeting on a used car lot in Beaumont, Texas, neither man realizing this is a turning point for both. Before they know it, the two cowboys are sharing a beat-up truck, a life on the road, and a dream of making it in the music business. But they had trouble to clear up involving a stolen guitar, and a couple of gals short on scruples and long on rap sheets. A shot is fired, a major appliance is wounded; that's when the fun begins. Includes an exclusive CD of Brooks & Dunn's "Gotta Get Me One of Those. " Dust jacket has a small dent near the spine.; 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall; Signed by Author(s) .

Scranton, Pennsylvania, U. S. A.: W W Norton & Co Inc. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Heartbreaking and wickedly funny, Rides of the Midway whirls through the manic Mississippi nights of haunted teenager Noel Weatherspoon.

Spinning in ten directions at once by his passions and missteps, he finds himself haunted by ghosts both real and imagined: By the specter of the boy he knocked into oblivion while sliding home in a Little League game, and by the spirit of his father, a POW who disappeared in Vietnam. The binding is deep green and black in a moire pattern. The jacket has a scuff mark on the back. 316 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .
