2.0 out of 5 stars Not for fans, August 14, 2001
By A Customer
This book might be useful if you want to know the chronology of L'Amour's works, but it offers very little else for readers who are familiar with his books. The author's opinions about the value of particular stories might lead you to skip some very enjoyable reading. If you have read L'Amour and like his work, skip this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Louis L'Amour Companion, January 19, 2003
By A Customer
I found this book entertaining and informative. I have just begun to scratch the surface of quality westerns and this book allows some insite to one of the genre's best writers. If you do like Louis L'Amour and want to understand the background concerning this man... don't pass this up.
