Bøker av Lonn Taylor

Presents a collection of sixty essays about Texas books, authors, book collectors, libraries, and bookstores. It is a book for booklovers and bookish readers. Lonn Taylor writes from the point of view of a historian who has been reading books about Texas for seventy years, and who has known many of the authors he writes about.

Explores the very best of Texas geography, Texas history, and Texas personalities. In a state so famous for its pride, Taylor manages to write an exceptionally honest, witty, and wise book about Texas past and Texas present. It is a story of men and women and places that have made the state great. From a small-town radio host to tight-fisted West Texas ranchers, and even to Taylor's own family members, his subjects paint a profound and dynamic picture.

With over 150 additional pieces of furniture that were not included in Volume One, color photographs, and a new introduction, Texas Furniture, Volume Two completes the definitive guide to the state's rich heritage of locally made nineteenth-century furniture and the craftsmen who produced it.

Back in print for the first time in thirty years and thoroughly updated, Texas Furniture is the definitive guide to the state's rich heritage of locally made nineteenth-century furniture and the craftsmen who produced it.
