Reviews
Praise for  Last Bus to Wisdom: "Doig has thoroughly engaged readers' sympathies for his high-spirited yet vulnerable protagonist...Enjoyable coincidences abound, and a leisurely storyline with plenty of twists gives the author ample room to display his knack for vivid thumbnail sketches and bravura descriptions... A marvelous picaresque showing off the late Doig's ready empathy for all kinds of people and his perennial gift for spinning a great yarn. He will be missed." - Kirkus Reviews (starred) "A classic picaresque...[with] all manner of entertaining characters." - Library Journal Praise for The Bartender's Tale:   "[The] rewards of The Bartender's Tale --a subtle and engaging narrative, characters who behave the way real people behave, the joys of careful and loving observation--remain very great and extremely rare." -The Washington Post "The perfect book for your bedside table. Pick it up, lose yourself in the past and remember what it was like to be twelve years old, when your world and all the people who entered into it felt as fresh as the Montana mountain air." - Associated Press "Doig is at his best with coming-of-age stories. And he is masterful at exploring the emotional complexities of family and community through the eyes of a precocious youth... [He] has fashioned a moving tale of tolerance, self-discovery and forgiveness in which a child comes to terms with his own origins and in the process opens a new door to his future." -The Seattle Times  "Thoroughly engaging, and the book's soft focus of nostalgia is in itself a kind of pleasure." -NPR, Praise for The Bartender's Tale: "[The] rewards of The Bartender's Tale -a subtle and engaging narrative, characters who behave the way real people behave, the joys of careful and loving observation-remain very great and extremely rare."

A marvelous picaresque showing off the late Doig's ready empathy for all kinds of people and his perennial gift for spinning a great yarn. He will be missed." - Kirkus Reviews (starred) "The pleasures of reading Doig's final novel are bittersweet. His familiar themes are here: love for his native Montana, and his astute observation of and admiration for the tough homesteaders and ranchers who eke out a hardscrabble living... Funny, suspenseful, and nostalgic, [ Last Bus to Wisdom ] is a rollicking tale set during the summer of 1951...heartwarming [and] memorable." - Publisher's Weekly "A classic picaresque...[with] all manner of entertaining characters." - Library Journal Praise for The Bartender's Tale:   "[The] rewards of The Bartender's Tale --a subtle and engaging narrative, characters who behave the way real people behave, the joys of careful and loving observation--remain very great and extremely rare." -The Washington Post "The perfect book for your bedside table.

Synopsis
Named a Best Book of the Year by the Seattle Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Kirkus Review The final novel from a great American storyteller. Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig's beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old's imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery for "female trouble" in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate-bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical--is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can't seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate packs him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But as it turns out, Donal isn't traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way. Charming, wise, and slyly funny, Last Bus to Wisdom is a last sweet gift from a writer whose books have bestowed untold pleasure on countless readers.

    The book was in excellent condition, as described in the listing, and was excellently packaged, arriving in unblemished condition. The shipping time was very quick. While the listing showed the book with a dust jacket, the book did not come with one. I brought this to the attention of the seller, who responded to me right away, and was satisfied with the seller's explanation. I have to say that the service was in every way outstanding.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
