Description: VERY RARE: All Hat: A Novel ADVANCED READER'S EDITION: NOT FOR SALE By Brad Smith Henry Holt and Company 2005 ***Even though this book is in good condition otherwise, the spine glue is separating from the cover. I believe this is due to lower quality glue used on the Advance Reader's copy. I assume it is easily fixed with a small amount book binding glue.*** (See picture) Ray Dokes is fresh out of prison and fresh out of options Hes determined to turn his life around and stay out of trouble, but that means avoiding Sonny Stanton the rich and violent heir of a thoroughbred dynasty. Two horses one an arrogant creature thatll bite you as soon as you look away, the other gentle and friendly. But only one of them is worth more than a million dollars.

And this time, theyll be no getting out Praise for Brad Smith Brad Smith has got the goods hes funny, poignant, evocative, and he tells a blistering tale. A writer to watch, a comet on the horizon. Dennis Lehane, author ofMystic River For such a furiously funny writer, Smith has great reserves of tenderness, and before he delivers the big racetrack showdown between Ray and Sonny, he bides his time with heartfelt views of a country life that is slowly slipping away. Marilyn Stazio,The New York Times Book Review A story rife with energy, sharp detail and neat plot twists. Winnipeg Free Press Brad Smith makes writing seem like fun and thats no small achievement from the road-smart, stand-up guys like Dokes and Culpepper, to the flat-out bunglers like Sonny and Dean. It seems a shame to quit their company at books end. The Hamilton Spectator What a treat to read a well-told, old-fashioned story packed with colourful characters The Daily News (Halifax)
