Personally inscribed by the authors
Written with the same river-thick, high plains dusty & rocky mountain crusty language you have already enjoyed on the web, true-and-through-Americana; maybe not grammar & punctuation perfect, but wet from the rapids, splattered with mud, running in the wind, evocative and full of feeling!
