    Those of you interested in what Western saloons were like, what sort of 
people worked and played in them, what went on in them, and just about any 
other issue related to them should check out my forthcoming book, HELL'S HALF 
ACRE, which I recently sold to the Great and Powerful Shane. ;)  It covers 
all that (including descriptions of several dozen saloons in the town the 
book focuses on), plus lots of information about gambling, town life, and 
many related subjects. :)
