Several folks have asked about books and print media related to cowboy films and cliffhangers. I'm not peddling books and periodicals, but the following info and weblinks may help you locate some interesting readin' and reference material.
 In memory of George Coan, a great fan of the western and publisher of The Old Cowboy Picture Show (TOCPS) newsletter. George passed away on October 28, 2009. | George Coan was the publisher of The Old Cowboy Picture Show (TOCPS), an 8 1/2 x 11, B&W publication that celebrated the B western. George's pal Leo Pando published the final issue of TOCPS which I received in December, 2009.
