Josey Wales Karma
I have been waiting for a propitious moment to offer this Karma. With the mention of the book on another thread, now seems like an appropriate time.
On offer is an unread copy of
Josey Wales: Two Westerns by Forrest Carter
Gone to Texas
The Outlaw Trail of Josey Wales.
Whenever I see this book in a book store, there is only one copy on the shelf, and it is wrapped in cellophane or plastic for some reason. I don't see it very often, and when I do, I buy it. Usually, they get loaned out, but rarely come back, which is why I keep buying them. This copy is still in the original wrapper, a little shopworn and dusty from sitting on my bookshelf since before Amazon, but otherwise untouched. It's my last one, but I'll find another.
I'll find a random number generator or a hat of suitable size, and pick a winner a week from today, August 18.

I was always curious...
I was always curious about 'Gone To Texas' as being the basis for JW.
Similarly, I'm curious about 'The Breaker' by Kit Denton that 'Breaker Morant' was based on. I've just never got around to reading either of these.
Put me in even though we know the #3 position never wins.

Don't put me in, as I was the winner of a great karma recently. BUT, if the winner of this one has a 1911 .45 ACP, I'll add a full size gov't issue mag to the deal. Nothing special, but you never have enough mags. If the winner instead has a shield 9, I'll substitute an 8 round (used but good) shield 9 mag. Only one of the two, so no complaints that I won't send both.
If you don't have either of the two, there is no defined consolation prize.

The Breaker was pretty lame you might want to read Scapegoats of the Empire by George Ramsdale Witton

And I guess this means I'm in the running
