A Cowgirl's Guide to Life Book

Gladiola Montana and Texas Bix Bender collected short lines of plain cowgirl counsel and put almost nothing between them. A representative sample: be sure to taste your words before you spit them out.

The advice runs from knowing when to hold your tongue to picking the right bait when you are fishing for compliments, by way of the observation that it is better to be a widower's second wife than his first. Dry rather than sentimental, and the jokes usually arrive with something true attached to them.

A small hardcover from the Gibbs Smith western humor line, and the companion volume to A Cowboy's Guide to Life. It reads best a page at a time, out loud, to somebody who will argue back.
