Classic Western Writer Tom West Complete Book List

So many Western writers — how to pick a few favourites?

Louis L’Amour, of course.  Max Brand, who I discovered early as a kid in the school library, along with Zane Grey.  Giles A Lutz.  Merle Constiner.  Nye.  Trimble.  Hogan.  Shirreffs.  Patten.  Cord.  Lomax.  Most of ’em I found in those ACE Doubles — a great buy for a kid with his own summer wages…

But my fave Western writer became Tom West.  His language.  His characters.  A wry, wry humour.

Recently, in Tribute to Tom, I’ve put together his complete published book list.

Yes, and with uncommon audacity I call it “complete.” If you know of any additional titles, I’d love to hear from you.  In fact, it would be great to learn of more Tom West titles!  Unknown.  Unread.
