Trade paperback. Good. oversize paperback cover is still glossy glued spine is intact minimal wearing on the edges the book. Has been lightly read probably several times the interior the book is unmarked without inscription or workings. Great story I enjoyed it immensely. But then I tend to love all of Burke's books-Out of print since 1991, now currently being published.Two for Texas is a rip-roaring historical novel about the Texas Revolution of 1835. This early James Lee Burke classic is available again—featuring Son Holland, the great-grandfather of beloved hero Billy Bob Holland, as he flees a Louisiana prison camp with a Native American woman and a fellow prisoner in tow. James Lee Burke steps back three generations to reveal the lightning-paced tale of western lawman Billy Bob Holland's great-grandfather, a fugitive swept up in the proud fight for Texan independence. Son Holland escaped a Louisiana chain gang—but never intended to kill a prison guard during the breakaway. Terrified for his life, on the run through the bayou with fellow escapee Hugh Allison and a beautiful Indian squaw, Son flees across the river to Texas, where the only chance the travelers have for survival awaits in a violent storm of revolution led by General Houston and James Bowie.-paperbacks downstairs shelved alpha - * see pictures maybe this will do it .LAX Vespa,Los Angeles - Media Mail USPS-you get the copy you were viewing carefully Drop kick-packed- in foam core- to protect it in transit - sent media mail - 7 days usually coast to coast, less if closer. --
