Reviews

On Apr 9 2020, a reader said:

To quote from the fly leaf, "vintage Kelton; fast-paced story people with memorable characters, set in the author's beloved home state of Texas." I couldn't say it any better. A twelve year old boy, Joey Shipmen, is suddenly orphaned and has to make his own way, and all of the perils one can imagine are given excellent treatment by the author as Joey becomes a man in 1885 Texas.

About 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).
