A Visit to a Bookshop
2006
Could it be real, and within my grasp for $4 - Zane Grey's The Lone Star Ranger: A Romance of the Border? Not, of course, for $4, a first edition of the 1915 classic, which, with the author's 1912 Riders of the Purple Sage, may reasonably be considered the foundation of a pleasant popular fiction genre, the western, that survived for the best part of a century and whose last sundown may not yet have come, despite unpropitious signs. What I had lucked upon was a 1948 clothbound edition of The Lone Star Ranger published in London by Hamish Hamilton and apparently purchased by its first owner from the International Book House Ltd in Bombay.
