You selling the remnants of the Custache too? Billy Sadly, I did not keep the shavings. The fiancee thinks I should grow a moustache, for some reason I can't fathom. Perhaps I'll start another one... |

I thought you got rid of the Custache at your fiancee's request. . . .
Hmmm, maybe this is a different fiancee. . . .
Never mind. . . .

I shaved it before moving to Reno. Casualty of the job search. Nope, only one fiancee. The present one is the only one. Never had one before and never will again.  |

Added a few books recently. Working on a website for mainly selling American history books, though a few other things will be available. The address/name will allow for variety.
Added:
The Custer Album -- Lawrence Frost
The Court-Martial of George Armstrong Custer -- Douglas Jones
Oh What a Slaughter -- Larry McMurtry
The Last Stand -- Nathaniel Philbrick
I'm keeping those. As for what I've gotten recently that will be available...
Custer -- Jeffry D. Wert (hardcover, mylar cover)
Touched By Fire -- Louise Barnett (hardcover, mylar cover)
Lakota Recollections of the Custer Battle -- Richard Hardorff (paperback)
Black Elk Speaks -- John Neihardt (hardcover 1972)
Billy the Kid -- Robert M. Utley (hardover, 1989 first edition)
There are a few more, including a rather rare and handsome volume I got my hands on. I won't spoil the fun by telling you, but I got it from a local bookstore in trade. I had found a copy of a 428/1000 book on the last Indian battle. It took place here in Northern Nevada, and the author was considered the first Nevada historian. It was signed and in perfect shape. They were being offered for sale between 250 and 300 dollars but I got it for essentially $0.25 USD. There seems to be a glut of the book right now, and no one can sell them at the prices I've seen, so I traded it for a Custer book that, while I wouldn't mind keeping, will be the piece de resistance for the next step in my bookselling venture. Stay tuned.

Added a few books recently! Good ones too. Though I just missed out on a copy of Weibert's 66 Years in Custer's Shadow. If it was one of you who got it, kudos.
