    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Laub, Rolf (illustrator). AB4 - A paperback book SIGNED by Rick Bass (page 62), Naomi Shihab Nye (page 91), Marion Winik (page 135) on their respective page in very good condition that has some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Foreword by Leon Hale. Illustrations by Rolf Laub. Contributions by Pete Barthelme, Steven Barthelme, Rick Bass, Michael Berryhill, Martha Boethel, H.R. Bratton, Teresa Kyle Cage, Charles Clawson, William Cobb, Ben Ezzell, Adelaide Ferguson, Lionel G. Garcia, Gunnar Hansen, Michael Hargraves, Martha A. Howard, Barbara Karkabi, Jim Langdon, Bob Lee, Thom Marshall, Jennifer King Moody, Evan Moore, Maria Moss, Irl Mowery, Sunny Nash, Naomi Shihab Nye, Kathy Pierce, Billy Porterfield, Rachel Herrera Reed, C.C. Risenhoover, T. Lurry Roberts, Barbara Wilson Shallue, Richard Stewart, Edward Swift, Margaret Symmank, David Theis, Bobby S. Wicke, Allen Wier, Marion Winik. Selections of nonfiction columns for State Lines a weekly feature of Texas Magazine, the Sunday supplement to the Houston Chronicle. 8.5"x5.5". 223 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. "There is a universality of humankind," writes one of the authors of the lines within this book. "A little town in South Texas is the same as a little town in John Donne's England. . . ." And so it is that these stories of moments and scenes and events in the state of Texas transcend the state lines and represent a state of mind. Colorful characters and ordinary folk alike fill the small towns and city streets of these fifty-two vignettes, which unfold with humor, poignance, understatement, or stark relief. The elements of real life emerge in the stories of childhood and growing up, of getting old and dying, of walking on ancestral lands and carving names in towering tree trunks, of high-school-prank blocking of traffic in a slower-paced Houston, of bookmobiles, remembered pets, and pecan pie. These superbly crafted pieces, by various authors, represent the best of the nonfiction columns of State Lines, a weekly feature of Texas Magazine, Sunday magazine of the Houston Chronicle. Texas is an underlying element in them all - "not flashy and intrusive," editor Ken Hammond tells us, "but there." Grounded in personal experience, each story goes beyond the commonplace or the obvious, to make a point and offer depth. The provocative lines of Rolf Laub's art add a twist-of-lemon humor that makes this collection a treasure not to be passed up. There. We've described the treasure without once using the word essay. Houston Chronicle columnist Leon Hale's wryly inviting foreword will tell you why we shouldn't have done that. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.

Selections of nonfiction columns for State Lines a weekly feature of Texas Magazine, the Sunday supplement to the Houston Chronicle. 8.5"x5.5". 223 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. "There is a universality of humankind," writes one of the authors of the lines within this book. "A little town in South Texas is the same as a little town in John Donne's England. . . ." And so it is that these stories of moments and scenes and events in the state of Texas transcend the state lines and represent a state of mind. Colorful characters and ordinary folk alike fill the small towns and city streets of these fifty-two vignettes, which unfold with humor, poignance, understatement, or stark relief. The elements of real life emerge in the stories of childhood and growing up, of getting old and dying, of walking on ancestral lands and carving names in towering tree trunks, of high-school-prank blocking of traffic in a slower-paced Houston, of bookmobiles, remembered pets, and pecan pie. These superbly crafted pieces, by various authors, represent the best of the nonfiction columns of State Lines, a weekly feature of Texas Magazine, Sunday magazine of the Houston Chronicle. Texas is an underlying element in them all - "not flashy and intrusive," editor Ken Hammond tells us, "but there." Grounded in personal experience, each story goes beyond the commonplace or the obvious, to make a point and offer depth. The provocative lines of Rolf Laub's art add a twist-of-lemon humor that makes this collection a treasure not to be passed up. There. We've described the treasure without once using the word essay. Houston Chronicle columnist Leon Hale's wryly inviting foreword will tell you why we shouldn't have done that. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.
