Rivet bound in branded leather cowhide with the title and Texas motifs (lone stars, horseshoes, broncos, roses) and a stamped rope border. The final plate is the book in production at a Xerox machine. &#8220;This Book is a chronological presentation of my projects about Texas, defined in this context as ideas and attitudes about scale, culture, myths symbols, artifacts, history, customs, food, animals, experiences, kitsch, machismo, cross fertilization, sign systems, tourism, country western music, the picturesque, cowboys, boundries, life and death.&#8221; &#8211; from the artist&#8217;s statement. Some wear to corners of leather. Some minor foxing to page edges and end pages, otherwise very good. Overall a nice copy of a very scarce book by a quintessentially American artist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bookseller Inventory #<\/strong> 25900 <a href=\"https:\/\/blackcatbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/P1080801.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11479\" title=\"Bob Wade's Texas\" src=\"https:\/\/blackcatbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/P1080801-234x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackcatbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/P1080801-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/blackcatbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/P1080801-799x1024.jpg 799w, https:\/\/blackcatbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/P1080801.jpg 1114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" \/><\/a><span class=\"sold\">SOLD<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bob Wade&#8217;s Texas<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Wade, Bob <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>Daddy-O Productions<\/strong><br \/>\nPublication Date: <strong>1976<\/strong><br \/>\nBinding: <strong>Bound in Leather<\/strong><br \/>\nBook Condition: <strong>Very Good<\/strong><br \/>\nSigned: <strong>Signed by Author<\/strong><br \/>\nEdition:<strong> First Edition, Limited<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything is bigger and better in Texas.
