Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In a lucid, brilliant work of nonfiction -- as close to an autobiography as his readers are likely to get -- Larry McMurtry has written a family portrait that also serves as a larger portrait of Texas itself, as it was and as it has become.
