Well, after listening to some stories about the early and late Paxton days at the John Hull led seminar at Gettysburg, I went on EBay and snagged a hardback copy for $12.50 including shipping. The UPS guy just dropped it off. I wish I had my chores done so I could start reading, but Avanti wood inserts are impatiently waiting (as is their installer). Perhaps I can wait until mid-August and the long drive to Bonneville

I've had the book for many years. It's a very interesting and enjoyable read. Lots of insights and history. Of course, Andy is the central character and hero of the story, but that makes it even more interesting.Poet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune. As always...self-absorbed, adversarial, cocky and in general a malcontent. -
Had my copy signed by Andy at his SNM Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
JSI was STUDEBAKER, when STUDEBAKER wasn't "KOOL".

I got the hardbound edition when it first came out. It is probably due for a re-read.Gary L.
