Thanks to everybody for the book reviews. Great reviews on Amazon too. I just ordered a used hard cover from eBay- under 14 bucks with shipping. It will be a fun read before heading for Copalis. (Or on those rainy days while we are there).

I have the softcovers. Bought "Education" probably 15 years ago in Amanda Park. Autographed to boot!

A year or so ago I noticed them in Sportsmens, but no more. They still sell new ones at Everybody's grocery in Elma.

I forgot all about that.  I bought my copies from Amazon.com and the Second Issue was autographed.  Ha ha ha, now I know why you wanted my copy BTKR.  :P

I have read his books over and over through the years. In the first book Ralph was asked by my Great Uncle to come out to his bee hives and kill a problem bear. I also have a signed copy to my grandmother. Years ago after reading his first book and looking at the pics, I realised that he lived right up the highway from my house. One day I drove in to his place and knocked on the door, he invited me in and showed me around. Super nice guy. Markts

Both of them are great, but "Education" is best. Whenever you want to take a drive. The area has changed a bit, but it is still flat, thick and swampy.
