A mammoth book chock full of the best stories, poetry, fiction inspired by the Big Sky country. A fine collection of authors (Quammen, Maclean, Guthrie, Welch, Brautigan, Doig, Stegner, Crumley, van Cleve) give an exceptional insight into the history and personality of Montana. Too big for reading in bed, however!
