"... a true image of the man and writer, Frank Dobie . . .This

man and expertly exposes the essence of one of the world's great
Texans." -John Henry Faulk

want it and need it-now. It is well done. It has caught Mr. Dobie's
spirit. My congratulations to Winston Bode."

believe Frank Dobie would have approved it and enjoyed reading
it himself." Joe A. Small, Publisher of

"Mr. Bode is admirably fitted to choose and assemble in this book
just those things about Dobie which represent him best . . . here is
truly the Dobie whom we at the Southwest Review knew and loved
