BOOKS BY AND ABOUT ZANE GREY
From the Walter Black Series
This is a series of 75 reprints of Zane Grey titles, including one
biography. The last 15 of these titles are fairly difficult to find, but we have a number
of them in stock. I have included the numbers on the last 15 along with the titles. The
books are off white cloth with spine labels in gilt, red and blue.We are in the process of
listing all of we have of this series on this page. They are in alphabetical order to find
easily. Unless otherwise specified, books in this section are published by Walter J.
Black, Inc., and do not have the original glassine dust jackets. All the books look pretty
much like the biography, below, on the outside. The lettering is in gilt on the spine.
All books, with the possible exception of Camp Robber, are reprints.
