 | | Yes, the Texas Book Festival is upon us, and some of us Texas lit fanatics are just fanatical enough to suggest that if the festival were to celebrate just one book, it ought to be the fabulously dark, picaresque novel Blood Meridian, by Texas' most powerful writer, Cormac McCarthy. |
 | | This year, the Texas State Historical Association published the first completely unexpurgated edition of My Confession, in a large format (10" x 13") to accommodate facsimile reproductions of Chamberlain's journal pages and 160 full color illustrations. |
 | | But be forewarned, ye thrifty Texas Book Festival attendees, these visions don't come cheap: The TSHA books go for $50 apiece, with deluxe limited editions for $150. |
