The first Continental Op novel. The movie Yojimbo (and therefore A Fistful of Dollars also) was sort of based on this. I enjoyed this, but I like the short stories better.

John, you previously mentioned that you like the sound of the Fenders on these recordings. I agree, but in addition to that, I prefer Bob Bogle's playing lead to what Nokie Edwards was doing later.

Thank you Mike, Hutch and Pim! I hope everyone enjoyed his Christmas yesterday.
