WHERE: Benjie’s Books & Gifts, 208 Fort McKavitt St., Mason, TX 76856

Hemphill, a resident of Mason, TX, will be available to sign copies of his book, The Buck Never Got Here.

Have you ever wondered how to use a compass? Or build a canoe? Or properly clean a gun, or cast a flyrod, or shoot a muzzle-loading rifle? Well, keep wondering. You won’t learn any of that stuff from this book. Kendal Hemphill has been called a cross between Dave Barry and Pat McManus. No subject is too delicate, no politician too insulated, no topic too sensitive to be speared with the arrow of cynicism and barbequed on the backyard pit of sarcasm.

If you enjoy camping, hunting, fishing, lying, and passing the buck, this book is for you. If your tastes tend more toward wall-to-wall carpet, central air-conditioning, and room service, this book is for you too.
