The Gunfighters
The Time-Life Old West volume that sat on a generation of teenage bookshelves.
Part of the Time-Life Old West series, this 1977 volume collects the gunfighters of the American frontier, Hickok, Earp, Hardin, Billy the Kid, in the format that series was famous for: heavily illustrated with period photographs and lithographs, bound in imitation leather, and sold by subscription. It reached an enormous readership in the 1970s and is remembered as fondly for the object as for the text.

Lavishly illustrated and leather-bound, this entry in the Time-Life Old West series is a classic that found its way onto the bookshelves of many teenage boys like me during the 1970s.
