New Edition of Jack Schaefer’s novel ‘Shane’

2017 edition of my all time favourite western novel, ‘Shane’ by Jack Schaefer, published by University of New Mexico Press and with an introduction by Robert Nott of the Sante Fe ‘New Mexican’. Nice cover illustration being a re-hued version of “Sentinel of the Plains’ 1906 by William Herbert Dunton. Oil on canvas 39 x 26 in. Nicely done.
