Wit and wisdom

I first bought this book twenty years ago, and have used many of its simple phrases and words of wisdom over the years. I wore the book out in fact, so I was happy to be able to but a new version. All of the old lines are in this book, and a few new ones. However, I did notice some quips are repeated numerous times through out this new version.

Hard to put down this book

For anyone interested in Western lore, or just a good read, this collection of true cowboy sayings is just terrific.
