SUCH a DEAL: "The Everything/Nerd Party Box" $65.00
Contains a copy of all off-set back-stock books AND enough extras to not only give pressies for friends AND hold a Nerd Party (which is like a Tupperware party, but cooler). The REASON it's so cheap is because I throw whatever I've got into it. There is NO guarantee of what you'll get -- just that you'll get an excellent deal. And sometimes surprises! (Sorry, no elephant-foot lamps. The elephants wouldn't like that.)

"Old Man Out"The "Old Man" is the last shock of wheat cut in the harvest, and whoever cuts it gets suitably abused. Stinz has never been the "Old Man" in his life -- but this year he may have a good reason for letting the farm kids beat his tail crooked.   
The Bobwar Kids don't tell adults much about things that scare or hurt them. As a colt, Stinz kept a dangerou secret to himself - and now it's grown into a monster. 
Stinz III-4, Bum Steer With his "nephew" and a two-legger feuding over grazing rights, Stinz has more things to think about than old war memories.  Like he'll really have a choice about that before it's over.

This series has been called a metaphor for slavery.  A German officer captures an American sergeant during WW II. Their confusion and squabbling is cut short when people show up who don't even recognize their differences. To them, the two men are just two available -- and saleable -- pieces of horseflesh. When Stewart and Stephan aren't fighting with their masters, they're at each other's throats.

Bosom Enemies #1, Losing our Bearings Stephen and Stewart are captured and must come to terms with being beasts.

Bosom Enemies #2, Bearing Our Losses The pair are torn apart during their society's conquest of a native people. Horses don't get treated very well in war.

Bosom Enemies #3, All Turned Around After ending up in the herds of the native people they'd been sent to conquer, the boys get to enjoy a sweat-lodge. A tale of their old age transforms into a trip into 1970's San Francisco (A flip book with the Stinz "New Souls").
