The Western Art Of Charles M. Russell
                                             (1975 - Ballantine Books)  

     This is part of a nice set of paperback artbooks, longer than they are tall, roughly 9-by-11 inches, each 96 pages, presenting their color plates in 'museum' fashion, with the blank facing page holding a respectful caption of title, creation year, original size, and source collection.  46 color plates, counting also the back cover.  Also a two-page introduction.  Buskirk's book RUSSELL scores as a better collection of Charles M. Russell art, but this volume takes many of the double-page-spreads found there, including some of the unacceptable ones, and holds them to a single page to more satisfactory effect.  One is going to want both volumes as each has a significant portion of works not held by the other.
