A
local used bookstore went out of business around Christmas time. I was saddened
, but I took advantage of the low, low prices to grab … well ... everything.
Christmas books for all!
Among
the finds I kept for myself was Education
of a Wandering Man, cowboy writer Louis L’Amour’s memoir. Published by
Bantam in 1989 (a year after the writer’s death), it’s L’Amour’s account of the
life he led while learning to be a writer and, more importantly, the books that
taught him about words and story forms.
