Books about westerns

Yay, a new package in the mail!

Edward Buscombe's 100 Westerns is part of the BFI Screen Guides series. It's a handy pocket-sized book that devotes a couple of pages to each selected film.

Stagecoach to Tombstone: The Filmgoers' Guide to the Great Westerns by Howard Hughes (not that one!) uses a different approach. It focuses on 27 movies, and also discusses similar or related westerns in each chapter. For example, the Tombstone chapter mentions Wyatt Earp, Dead Man, Open Range and other modern westerns.
