Latham, Aaron Code of the West
Hardcover: 2001 Simon & Schuster, NYC 1st printing 0743201175 / 9780743201179
Book: Very Fine. DJ: Fine. Shipping weight 855 (grams).
In this magical and epic novel, the celebrated author of 'Urban Cowboy' delivers a Texas-size love story that transplants the legend of Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Merlin alive and well to the Old West — to stunning effect. 'Code of the West' begins when Jimmy Goodnight, a young, earnest cowhand, recovering from having been brutally abducted by Comanches who slaughtered his family, sets his life on a new and surprising course by visiting a county fair. There he agrees to try to pull out an ax that has been deeply imbedded in an anvil and that has defied the efforts of the strongest men in Texas. Jimmy's astonishing and triumphant achievement at the fair changes his life. With the prize money he follows his dream, recruits cowboys, puts together a herd of cattle, and drives them across the plains to a deep canyon, where he intends to make his own private kingdom. Goodnight's luck and courage bring him an early and gratifying success. Above all, they bring him the comradeship of his men, and the friendship of a lifetime, when he meets Jack Loving, who is everything Jimmy Goodnight isn't — handsome, graceful, a naturally gifted horseman, and a great dancer. Together, Goodnight and Loving make a formidable team, and their relationship is one of complete trust, the bedrock on which Goodnight's growing empire rests, on a seemingly solid foundation -- until a woman appears with whom both men fall in love. All goes well until Goodnight makes a fearful, vengeful, and unforgiving enemy, takes on an Eastern big businessman as a partner -- and falls in love with his beautiful daughter Revelie, and fails to notice the growing mutual attraction bet-ween Revelie and Loving... Compulsively readable, cleverly interweaving Western history (Loving and Goodnight are both based on real people in the historical West) and Arthurian legend,'Code of the West' is a powerful love story, a sweeping adventure, a great Western -- and just the kind of unexpected, unusual, and hugely successful work of fiction that has sealed Aaron Latham's reputation.

Latham, Aaron The Ballad of Gussie and Clyde: A True Story of True Love
Hardcover: 1997 Villard Books, NYC 1st ed. 0679456759 / 9780679456759
Book: Very Fine. DJ: Very Fine. Shipping weight 340 (grams).
It was about five years ago that Clyde Latham, a retired high school football coach in Spur, Texas, lost his wife of fifty years. He was alone, and lonely, until Gussie Lancaster arrived from California. She was widowed and, a lifetime earlier, had befriended Clyde, practically grown up beside him. When Gussie arrived at the airport, Clyde didn't recognize her. Still, they fell in love. These two proud octogenarians, acting like teenagers. Madly. Deeply. With an almost adolescent desire for the companionship, support, and magic only romance can bring. In 'The Ballad of Gussie & Clyde,' Clyde's son Aaron Latham describes this extraordinary flowering, using his skill as a storyteller (he's the author of 'Urban Cowboy') and his affection as a son. For not only did Gussie and Clyde's union rekindle their lives, it also altered the texture of Aaron's relationship with his own family.
