Limited Editions of Last of the Robbers Roost Now Available!

We just unpacked the limited editions of Last of the Robbers Roost Outlaws and they look fantastic.  Price, UT, author Tom McCourt worked with Ray Tibbetts to research, compile, and write the story of Bill Tibbetts, Moab's own outlaw.  After two years of work, the Canyonlands Natural History Association published the trade edition last month.  Back of Beyond Books received permission to publish a limited edition hardback of the book, which is now for sale.

 

Two styles were designed. A cloth-bound hardback in slipcase is available for $60.00. These will all be signed by author Tom McCourt plus by Ray Tibbetts, Bill's son.  The 1/4 bound leather edition, also in slipcase, runs $155.00 and will be signed. The limited editions were designed by Dave Jenney of Flagstaff, AZ, and are selling quickly. The numbered cloth edition is published with a limitation of 35 books with 22 available. Fifteen leather editions were bound; only 6 remain available.

Contact Andy Nettell at Back of Beyond Books 435-259-5154 to purchase this unique book of regional history and intrigue.
