About This Item
Roslyn, NY Walter J. Black, Inc., 1960. Hardcover Reprint Edition. Very Good-: light wear to the extremities; the tinted top edge is very lightly sun faded. Faintest soiling & mild scuffing to the boards. Cup ring at the upper front panel and a smudge of staining from same. Binding shows slight lean but remains perfectly secure; text clean. The titles at the back strip are bold and bright, but show some rubbing. Despite noted flaws, remains a clean, sturdy, presentable reading copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 378pp. Cream Quarter Cloth with Red cloth over boards; Blue, Red & Gilt titles and designs at the back strip. Hardback: No DJ 'as issued'. This is a later Reprint Edition, published, we believe, during the late 1950s or early 1960s, although the copyright page provides the date the copyright was renewed in 1942.

The Light of Western Stars is one of my favorite Zane Grey romances. And when easterner Madeline Hammond gets off the train near midnight and things begin to happen right away, you know that this is going to be a good one. Gene Stewart, the other half of the romance is a man's man with the traditional western values but who has at first kind of lost his way because of drinking too much. But that gets straightened out through the love of a woman. The cast of characters includes some cowboys, old time cowboys, you will never forget. There's an animal, a magnificent horse, in the story; an automobile, driven by a cowboy who loves to go fast and scare his passengers, and this plays a vital role in the climax of the story as only ZG can describe and tell it. This is another of his books which take place in contemporary times, written when these events were playing themselves out along the US-Mexico border. This is another of his books which is told primarily from the woman's perspective and would indeed appeal to the female reader; it's NOT a bang, bang shoot'em up with street duels and impossible violence, but realistic characters and events. It's a great book for anyone to enjoy, a historical romance set in the West; not a "western". Buy it.
