An American Family: The Buckleys by Reid Buckley
Autographed
To me, the cute cover photo of the Buckleys playing touch football is worth the purchase price all by itself. If you're looking for a lot of information on WFB,Jr., in particular, you won't find it here. I do understand his background a lot better from having read this, though. And the stories about the whole Buckley clan were pleasant to read.
For Ed Feulner, with best wishes and a future with 30. Reid Buckley
For Ed Feulner_ w/ warm personal regards to graditude- Reid Buckley
