Past
Perfect: The Tales of Town and ‘Round
By Patrick Brophy. For perhaps too long, this obviously
unreconstructed, non-expert, crotchety, contrary, “old timer” has inflicted

the best of the crop, some 75 essays, all fully rewritten and improved, plus
some never before seen, have been gathered under one cover. Winner of
Author’s Award 1996-97 State Historical Society of Missouri. Quality
paperback, full color cover, 375 pages, 60 photos, maps, index, 5½x8¼. |
