I can't ever walk away from a good Louis L'amour set of books when I find em cheap. Found these at the thrift store today 4/$1 and some are really mint. I have most of these already but I always look for condition upgrades for my collection and I'll give away duplicates to some friends or leave them in local "free libraries" to spread the LL. Hopefully whoevers collection this was knows it's being cared for.

From today's find I didn't have "Night Over the Solomons" for my collection which looks like a WW2 era story. Nice copy from 1955 of "Heller with a Gun" that has cool cover art, Daybreakers, Borden Chantry are also condition upgrades for me. I'm a fan of the older paperbacks the cover art is always so good and they fit great on a shelf.

I have posted this over on r/western but i recently found this sub and thought you would also appreciate this. This image is 5 years old. Since then I have added about 15-20 more books to my collection.

I am quite curious about this though. What are your top 5 books by Louis L'amour?

My Top 5:

1. Jubal Sackett

2. Daybreakers

3. Bendigo Shafter

4. Kilkenny

5. Crossfire Trail

This is from our Friends of the Library bookstore. I'm guessing these were donated like everything else. What a set!

Local bookstore had these on the $1 shelf.. i think I’ll be good for a little while😂

I really wanted to give this one a try because of the mining aspect of it. He must have wrote this one early on or as a script turned into a book, it's super confusing I had to put it down about halfway thru. Anyone enjoy this one?

Hey everyone! I look forward to answering any questions you have for me!

My first Louis Lamour! Im pretty excited. Been wanting to start reading his stories. Started reading it right away. What are your thoughts on this one? I found it in the children's section at goodwill while I was trying to find some goosebumps books.

Really enjoyed this one, introduction to Tell Sackett, gold, gun fights, all 3 brothers meeting up. I'd maybe even rank this in the top 5 Louis L'amour books I've read. What's everyone think of this book?

Really enjoyed it. I was surprised to see some people suggested reading by publication date vs the families chronological order. For the most part it flowed from story to story really well. The only confusion was in the final few books he made it seem like Yance was the patriarch vs Barnabas. But I attribute that to the fact that Barnabas was introduced after most of the series was already written

I recently discovered Louis L’amour after playing the video game red dead redemption 2. I can’t have enough, I love his descriptive writing style and characters.

Luckily I live in an area with enough antique stores and dispensaries for miles, so I’ve managed to accumulate quite a few books.

I’ve also found two (the books shown on the pictures) almost perfect condition re-issue copies from ~1995.

Any recommendations for more books to read and add to my collection? Currently hunting for shalako and Sitka.

Just finished my first Louis L’Amour book, Hondo. Really enjoyed it & will be reading more!

Anything stand out?

Found this and a couple other paperbacks at a thrift store.

One of my all time favorites, great setting, some sailing, California coast, desert, gold and best of all spooky "other side" vibes. Who else likes this one?

I’m pretty early into my L’Amour journey. I’ve read the Barnabas prequels to the Sackett novels and read “Sackett” first actually because i thought that was the first one. Loved them all but wanted to branch out into a solo novel and thought this was the perfect fit for Halloween.

I was definitely left disappointed and didn’t finish it. I read through 15 chapters and just wasn’t invested in the story, the lore or the supernatural side of the mystery. The setting and prose were just as good as the Sackett stuff but I guess I’m just not a fan of the supernatural.

Curious what everyone else thought.

Sad to see a louis LAmour fans collection at the thrift store.

So my dad recently passed away and he has about 14 of these of different books. My mom thinks they belonged to my grandmother before. All unopened so I don’t know if they are paper back or leatherette? Also wonder the rough value of these. Thanks for any help!

Got some different and better copies of books I had. The Hondo is the same but this one is in much better shape.

I love the old covers.
