Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky?

BAXTER BLACK

Publication: Penguin Books, 1995, New York

First edition, fifth printing. Signed by the author on the half title page, "To Gary, Baxter Black, 1999," Digest size color pictorial stiff wrappers, x [2], 223 [5] pp., illustrated. More of Baxter Black's homespun cowboy humor. Cowboys Lick and Cody are on a quest to qualify for the rodeo national finals. These modern-day cowpokes find much more than they bargained for in Oklahoma City. Against the colorful, flamboyant backdrop of the hard-ridin’, hard-playin’ rodeo circuit, they encounter a city woman named Lilac, with whom Cody falls in love; a bull named Kamikaze; and two corrupt Texas billionaires who bet against Lick. Laid-in to this copy is the announcement of Black's death from the Arizona Daily Star. Very good copy.
