I ran across this while building the DB. I had been trying to decide whether to include it in the DLE list, but have decided against it, as I don't believe EP actually published this title, but another company that allowed EP to sell copies. It looks terrific and I have contemplated buying it a few times. It is long sold out at EP, but it is still available if anyone is interested. If anyone did purchase it, please chime in with your thoughts. A photo of the copyright page would also be appreciated to determine the actual publisher and date, etc.

Doesn't look like an EP book.

I've never seen any EP book with a ribbon like that, nor can I recollect any with a non-gold gilting. Based on that picture, I'm not entirely convinced that the book cover is leather, either.

The ABE lister wants $575 for it, but the publisher still has 48 copies for $300. https://www.russcochran.com/product/hopalong-cassidy-an-american-hero-limited-ed...

>5 jroger1: yup, and they have some other items for purchase too. If you wait long enough, maybe Hopalong will go on sale, perhaps even as much as this little gem :O
