{"product_id":"the-texanist-david-courtney-9781477312971","title":"The Texanist: Fine Advice on Living in Texas","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Texanist, \u003ci\u003eTexas Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e's perennially popular back-page column, has become the magazine's most-read feature. With an inimitable style and an unassailable wholesomeness, columnist David Courtney has counseled many a well-intentioned Texan, native or wannabe, on how to properly conduct him- or herself. Until the July 2016 issue, an original illustration by the late award-winning artist Jack Unruh, depicting the Texanist in a situation described in the column, accompanied the Texanist's sage wisdom. Unruh's peerless illustrations displayed a sly wit that paired perfectly with Courtney's humorous ripostes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Texanist\u003c\/i\u003e gathers several dozen of Unruh's most unforgettable illustrations, along with the fascinating, perplexing, and even downright weird questions that inspired them. Curing the curious, exorcizing bedevilment, and orienting the disoriented, the Texanist advises on such things as: Is it wrong to wear your football team's jersey to church? When out at a dancehall, do you need to stick with the one that brung ya? Is it real Tex-Mex if it's served with a side of black beans? Can one have too many Texas-themed tattoos? \u003ci\u003eThe Texanist\u003c\/i\u003e addresses all of these important subjects and more. Whether you heed the good guidance, or just enjoy the whimsical illustrations, \u003ci\u003eThe Texanist\u003c\/i\u003e will both entertain and educate you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Courtney, Jack Unruh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477312978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477312971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.20w x 0.80d","brand":"David Courtney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994233340159,"sku":"9781477312971","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e151804d-1d79-412c-88a0-5b994949f52a.jpg?v=1683328920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-texanist-david-courtney-9781477312971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
