It&#8217;s from McFarland, so one has to double-check to see if it&#8217;s not one of their duff ones (the <em>Dune encyclopedia<\/em>, etc). But it&#8217;s reassuring to see that <em>True West<\/em> magazine gave the first edition a good review. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/weirdw1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/weirdw1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52495\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second edition appears to have had no online reviews, other than a single Amazon U.S. one and a short one on a blog. Which carps on and on about &#8216;masked cowboys&#8217; not being included, so it&#8217;s not much use. The lack of proper reviews seems a pity, and the book might be a candidate for someone casting around for a book to review.<\/p>\n<p>By 2025 there&#8217;ll likely be a need for a third edition, given all the Weird West material that&#8217;ll have appeared in the decade since 2015. Even in the last five five years in comics, the task of updating would appear to be substantial, so a new edition is probably something for a dedicated &#8216;tracking blog&#8217; to build up to over the next few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s one more I missed back in 2016.
