  18. The Blight Way

    The Blight Way

    By Patrick F. McManus '56, '62

     

    In The Blight Way, Patrick McManus '56, '62 ventures into the mystery genre with the first installment in a new comic crime fiction series set in the Idaho Rockies. Blight County, Idaho, is more than a little off the beaten track, which is exactly the way its idiosyncratic residents like it. As a rule, the only killing Sheriff Bo Tully needs to deal with is the occasional bar brawl turned ugly. So when a dead man clad in a designer pinstriped suit and just one shiny black dress shoe is found draped over a pasture fence near the little town of Famine, the sanguine, watercolor-painting lawman knows the place soon will be abuzz with speculation and rumor. With its understated wackiness and bull's-eye humor, The Blight Way is vintage McManus in new garb. As he blends his patented brand of wry observation with the venerable traditions of the crime procedural, this master storyteller once again affirms the New York Times Book Review's dictum that "everybody should read Patrick McManus."

    The Complete Far Side: Limited Edition

    By Gary Larson '72

     

    A masterpiece of comic brilliance and a must-have treasure for any Gary Larson fan! The Complete Far Side limited-edition book and lithograph set contains every Far Side cartoon ever syndicated (over 4,000 of them) in a numbered, two-volume, 1,272-page book set and a limited-edition lithograph print, both signed by Gary Larson. Only 2,000 copies of this incredible package have been produced. Printed on glossy, specially milled, archival quality paper and bound in fine burgundy leather, the book set comes protected in a beautiful clamshell box that is covered and lined with Japanese cloth and emblazoned with gold foil-framed, full-color insets. The matted and framed 19 1/2" by 24" full-color limited-edition lithograph of one of Larson's well-known cartoons, Wendell . . . I'm Not Content, is also signed by the artist and bears the same number as the limited-edition book set.
