Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

[light handling wear only, a touch of residue on inside front cover, apparently from a removed bookplate]. (B&W photographs) A self-published memoir of country legend Hank Williams, by a member of his original band, the Drifting Cowboys. (Rivers was the fiddle player, and joined the group in 1949.) It's not very well-written, but is still valuable for its up-close-and-personal perspective. Rivers created the "Second Edition" of the book (originally published in 1967, as he explains in his Foreword) by adding a "Special Section," inside which the original edition is sort of sandwiched. (Pages 1-8 consist of new material, pages 9-48 are the original book, and the remainder of the book (through page 56) contains more new material, including a page on Hank Williams Jr., an account of the later career of the Drifting Cowboys, who got back together and started recording and touring again in 1976), and a continuation of the Hank Williams discography from the original book. The actual date of the printing of this book is impossible to determine, however; it's not stated anywhere, so one is left to suss it out of the textual details. In terms of actual content, nothing later than the early 1980s seems to be discussed, and the author makes several references to it being "thirty years after" Hank's death, which would make in 1983 -- but on page 50, at the tail end of the Drifting Cowboys discography, it's noted that "Sammy Pruitt died in 1988" and "Bob McNett died in 1995," so obviously this particular copy was "amended" much later than 1983. (Jerry Rivers himself died in 1996, so this printing was likely the last.) Also notable is the inside back cover, which is largely an account of the then-supposedly-rising career of Jett Williams, who was "declared by court order dated October 26, 1987 to be the biological daughter of Hank Williams," and made her singing debut in 1989.

Descrizione dello Store

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
