HOT OFF THE PRESS is Baxter’s latest collection of tall tales and poems about the real life of cowboys in the 21st century. In Blazin’ Bloats he is at his best, draggin' cowboys in and out of technicolor wrecks as you laugh and cringe along. A life time in the wonderous world of cows, ranches, rodeos, sheepherders, stockdogs, team ropers, feedlots, horseshoers, veterinarians, cowboys and women wearing chaps has given Dr. Black an enormous palette upon which to paint his version of the romance and potholes that make bein' a cowboy today the source of such great incredulity and inspiration!

It is illustrated by four of today’s most biologically correct and multi-talented Bucarangleos, Bob Black, Don Gill, Dave Holl and Charlie Marsh.
