Is this a western with a romance in it, or a romance set in the west? I don't know, but it sure is a lot of fun! Even though I don't often read in either of those genres, I found it very entertaining, and look forward to reading more in the series.

I read the free Kindle edition, ASIN B000JQV3Q0 with a publication date of November 1, 2005. No formatting issues that I noticed. The original edition apparently had illustrations, which are not included. However it's not clear whether illustrations are included in the Kindle versions you need to pay for, either. In fact, the description for at least one fairly expensive paper reprint edition states that illustrations are not included. Until a paid version with illustrations is available, I'm perfectly content with this freebie.

This is a terrific escape book, one that deserves a "10" rating for its entertainment value. The characters are appealing, the language is incredibly clean by today's standards, and there is much laugh-aloud humor. "Chip of the Flying U" is tremendous fun!

This book is just a cute little book definately from a time gone by. Easier read than a Lamour, but still a pretty solid western, even by today's standards.

As a Montanan cowgirl myself, I found Chip of the Flying U truthful and entertaining. The characters are real and the story is innocent. B.M. Bower knew the characters she created and it shows.
