Louis L'Amour ~ see note
|
Western | 1954 | $0.25 |
listed as "Complete Novel" The Graham Holroyd Paperback Prices and Checklist (2003) volume has this edition of Kilkenny as a PBO. My experience with ACE Books is that the notation of "complete novel" often indicated a reprint edition. Louis Dearborn L'amour (1908 – 1988) was a prolific author who is well known for his Western fiction novels (he called his work 'Frontier Stories'). In addition, he also wrote historical fiction, science fiction, nonfiction, poetry and numerous short stories. Many of his stories were made into movies. In 1982 he was awarded the Congressional (National) Gold Medal, and in 1984 President Ronald Reagan awarded him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. |
