THE BACKWOODSMAN - 1988 No barcode very tough best of signed by charlie richie. I've had these the no barcoded ones for quite some time but i've actually never had the best of and actually signed by Charlie richie all books are solid binding no hanging paper volume two has the signature in the back that is very cool and very rare if somebody who's a really big fan this would make a great father's day gift with the signature this is kind of a pocketbook edition I guess you take the past cuz they used to release it six issues in a year so they would just cram I guess the best of into a pocketbook form to take it with you so a lot of times these were ended up being trashed in the end this volume was I guess given free to this gentleman and the letter is attached to the back within the magazine you could detach it and frame it but I think I would just keep it as is again very rare would make a great christmas gift and Charlie richie senior did pass away his  son runs it now and I believe in bandera texas which is only about half an hour from here. CORRECTION letter autograph is not attached will put in some sort of bag to keep it tight and from the letter from sliding around this will not be shipped in an envelope it will be shipped in a box for maximum protection and I will ship this first class so you'll get a little bit quicker as opposed to media mail if you want to give it as a gift.   Please add a note just please see there is a little discoloration typical age where in some of these magazines considering it was a field manual these are in great shape
