My wife likes to read books about women in the early U.S. West. The latest title is "Woven on the Wind," subtitled, "Women Write About Friendship in the Sagebrush West." Edited by Linda Hasselstrom, Gaydell Collier and Nancy Curtis. Publisher, Houghton Mifflin Co., $25.00.
I am commenting on the book's dust jacket; there is a photograph of three women on horseback. The original photo had five women, but I guess that the publisher's art department decided the photo was "too busy" with all five and airbrushed out two women and two horses. The only problem with the finished product was that they didn't airbrush out the legs on one horse, so the published photo shows one of the horses with six legs.
We, my wife and I, think that the dust jacket is a keeper. She has a postcard photo to accompany the book that shows all five horses and riders.
Now, if we could only get it autographed...
