Fiction

My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara. Harper Perennial Library edition, 1988. This simple and moving story of Ken and his filly, Flicka, is set on the Goose Bar Ranch in the wild beauty under the big sky in Wyoming. Ken's practical father cannot understand his daydreaming, time-wasting son, and this creates a chasm between them. Ken's mother is sympathetic towards her son, but she is powerless to bring the father and son closer. Ken's love for Flicka almost costs him his life, but it also eventually causes him to become more responsible, and he finally wins his father's acceptance. 300 pages. For young adults. BTH-2648. $4.95-D

Thunderhead by Mary O'Hara. Harper Perennial Library edition, 1988. In this sequel to My Friend Flicka, Flicka gives birth to an ugly white colt Ken's mother names Thunderhead. It soon becomes clear that in spite of his undesirable appearance, Thunderhead is exceptionally strong, fast, and intelligent and is destined become a great race horse.  373 pages. For young adults. BTH-2649. $7.75-D

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 You can fax your purchase orders to 805-237-8639, but it's good to follow up with a phone call in a couple of days to make sure we got it, if you did not receive a delivery confirmation email. Please include an email address with your purchase order in case we have questions and so we can send your delivery confirmation number to you.  You can also attach a signed purchase order to an email.

 We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
