What is a BARGAIN Item?

Bargain items can be brand-new products that our buyers have purchased from publishers at incredibly low prices. We pass these savings - sometimes as much as 80% off an item's list price - along to you.

Bargain items can also be publisher overstocks or other special purchases, so there might be a few scratches, marks or dented corners. There might also be a sticker on the item from the publisher. Regardless, Books-A-Million does not ship defective items.

Our selection of bargain books changes hourly, and quantities are limited, so shop now and shop often. Due to unpredictable demand, it is possible for us to oversell the available quantity of a bargain item. In such cases, we will promptly cancel your order and your credit card will not be charged.

 
 
 
Overview

Legendary filmmaker John Ford made some 50 Westerns in a career that spanned more than half a century. From the silent classic "Straight Shooting in 1917 to 1964's "Cheyenne Autumn, and including such cinematic gems as "Stagecoach, "My Darling Clementine, "Fort Apache, and "The Searchers, Ford's Westerns have entered movie history as imperishable examples of the human spirit. This groundbreaking book is the first to take a visual approach to these films, relating them to the paintings and sculptures of Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, and other artists.
Ford also drew inspiration from the primal beauty of the American landscape; so many of his films, such as "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and "Wagon Master, are set against the untamed wilderness of the Southwest's Monument Valley that the area came to be known as Ford country. Author Peter Cowie shows how this master filmmaker used a variety of visual sources to create his idealized view of frontier life, crafting films that capture the enduring essence of the national character and epitomize the mythology of the American West.
