A Book About Texas Books


There's a lot of books about Texas, but not a lot of books about books that come from the Lone Star State. On this edition of The Rambling Boy, Lonn takes some time to talk about his latest book, Turning the Pages of Texas, out on the Texas Christian University Press. *Note* If you're looking for books about barbecue or how to act like a Texan, this isn't the book for you!
