Show ufi DAILY HERALD THURSDAY, DEC. 29, 1955 Utah County. Utah Books and Writers By FRANK C. ROBERTSON More years back than I like to remember I was writing regularly for such fiction magazines as and SHORT ADVENTURE STORIES. The editor of the last mentioned magazine was a gentleman named Harry E. Maule, admittedly one of the best in the business. I met Mr. Maule personally only one time, and that was years later when he was editor-in-chifor Doubleday, Dor-aAt that time Mr. Maule invited me to have lunch with him in the executives dining room of the huge Doubleday plant at Garden City, Long Island. It was, incidentally, the first time I had with big busiever ness in its own lair. One of them I remember well for his kindly courtesy was the late Russell Doubleday. Mr. Maule later left Doubleday to become editor of Random House, a position he holds today. When Western Writers of America were looking for a publisher for their 1955 anthology of Western stories, the royalties of which finance the organization, they n. ef hob-nobb- ed Benjomin News turned naturally to Harry Maule. 'From a list of some 75 submit ted stories Mr. Maule selected 18 which he considered the best. In addition, Mr. Maule himself wrote the introduction in which he reviews the history of the Western story. Mr. Maule attempted to select those which comprise a cross section of the entire field. Although in my opinion some of the selections fail to measure up to the high standards of previous anthologies on that account, the great majority of them are excellent. A classic I think, is the first story in the book, My Father and the Winning of the West, by John Prescott. Many others are nearly as good. The book is illustrated by Charley Russell drawings. This would make a fine gift for the man of the family. THE FALL ROUNDUP. By Western Writers of America. Random House, $2.95.

Now, Professor Foster-Harrhas produced a new book of called, THE LOOK OF THE OLD WEST. It is the work of a lifetime, well illustrated, and written in the forbreezy style Foster-Harr- is merly employed in his fiction. The book cannot be better described than to use Foster-Harris- 's own words. "There are worlds of vital statistics about the old West, but just try and visualize a vital statistic! How does it hold its pants up? Does it pack a gun, smoke, chew, wear its hair long? Sure this sounds silly maybe, to a" scholar, but when something is really alive in your mind, these are ' the tall trifles that perfect the picture. They make it real. This is the intent and purpose of this book." THE LOOK OF THE OLD WEST, lege (Lewiston).
