About this Item

Jacket "good plus" with a shallow triangular chip to top of rear panel. Inscribed & signed by author Hage to the title page. (PLEASE NOTE: The word "inscribed" -- for those in Westminster, California, who can't seem to figure this out -- means the author has written additional words to the recipient, sometimes of a personal nature, usually directly above his or her signature. Potential buyers who find this confusing and who may be more visually oriented may find it useful to examine our attached scans, which include one or more photographs of the inscribed page in question.) Not price clipped; original $14.95 price showing. "Second Edition" stated to copyright page, and Ron Arnold's "Editor's Introduction to the Second Edition" notes "many small but useful changes throughout the work," including an expanded Table of Contents, so this is a true second edition, not a mere second printing, albeit published only one year after the first. In addition to the fact the two editions bear different ISBNs, second edition appears to be most easily identified by a primarily green dust jacket, while our first edition copy has a brown dust jacket, though we're not sure that's universal. Free Enterprise Press, "a division of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise," clearly identified as publisher to book spine, DJ spine, title page, and copyright page. Note that some offerings will list as "publisher" Merrill Press, also of Bellevue, Washington -- which is indeed listed as the distributor. The split estate and property rights in the "public lands" of the West. Hage was a rancher and historian of these topics, who fought the federal taking of his grazing rights near Tonopah, Nevada, through the courts. After his death, his daughters won those lawsuits, vindicating his arguments & analysis. Some have told us they find this somewhat reorganized second edition more useful & definitive. 265 pp. Reduced from $500.
