MY DAD’S CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT
By Mrs. John Saul
The senior editor of the Bulletin, who is my Dad, has
been very ill with flu this week, and through the persuasive
.netods of mother and the positive orders of good Dr. Butler,
he languishes in bed. fretting and worring about who is go-
ing to fill up this page with editorials. Well, there are
times when we have to abolish the editorial page altogether,
but while Dad is off duty, and is not here to delete what I
may write. I am going to tell the Bulletin readers about a
tremendous undertaking he has been engaged in during the
past years—an undertaking that nobody but my Dad would
have; engaged in under the circumstance. I refer to the
wonderful book which is shortly to be released to the public:
"The Album of Gunfighters.” Books are being published
all over the United States every day, books of every size
and kind, (he editions of some of them running into the mil-
lions. But this “Album of Gunfighters” is an entirely dif-
ferent. kind of book. There has never been another like it,
and probably never will be unless my l)ad writes it. Band-
era people know my old Dad: they know his energy, his re-
sourcefulness. his love of Texas history, and his

edition, if you know what that means, and its cover will be in
three colors, silk screened, and the jacket will be printed in J
i | four colors. It will contain 256 pages, 0x12 inches in size.1
I printed on a very heavy enameled book paper. When fin-
!: ised each book will weigh around six pounds. Only 2,000
i '.copies' are being printed, but more than four tons of high,
| i grade paper is being required. The printing of the book is
| being done by the Steck .Company of Austin, the outstanding'
I book publishing concern in Texas. The Universal Book-1
bindery in San Antonio is binding the work. The clear ^
ten-point-type for ‘The Album of Gunfighters” was set on a
new linotype in the office of J. Marvin Hunter, Jr., in Baird,
so it may be said that Dad has had plenty of family co-oper-
ation in this undertaking. The total cost of printing this
great book will reach more than $10,000. In order to assure
its production a prepublication offer of $8.00 per copy was ^
made, limited to 300 copies at this price. These 300 copies!
will be autographed and numbered for the subscribers. Those,
who failed to take atvantage of this offer at the time it was
made will now have to pay the $10.00, because the 300 were
obtained and the offer has been withdrawn. Since the date J
if release is so near many book dealers are writing in for j
special discounts and prices on quantity lots. This first ed-;
itjon of “The Album of Gunfighters” will not be sold in book-
stores, but will be sold to book buyers direct. Only one
hundred copies are being allocated to Bandera, so if you want
to be one of the fortunate ones to get a treasured copy of my j
Dad's crowning achievement, send $10.00 and enter your order
at once.
