Any similarity to real persons is coincidental. What they do and what they say is fiction, and any similarity to true facts is accidental. From cover to cover, it is a western fantasy. But if the Bunkhouse Boys seem as real to the reader as they are to the artist and author, then the fun of creating them has been greatly enhanced." Fine condition in like slipcase. |
