Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Betsy Throckmorton is the armadillo-tough daughter of the richest man in Claybelle, Texas. She traded the fast lane of New York journalism for Daddy's newspaper, the Claybelle Times-Standard, and intends to whip it into more than a garden club newsletter. But she'll have to whip a lot more than that to do it! Martin's.

I'm a journalist, a sports fan, amateur historian and the fourth great-granddaughter of the amazing Peter Sides, a Revolutionary War Veteran who was killed at the bloodiest battle on Texas soil, the Battle of Medina in 1813.
You don't believe me? Look it up!
I very first read this book years ago and loved it. I've recommended it to others who have loved it. It's a fabulous read and rollicking adventure. It's the kind of book I keep re-reading and buying any copy I can find and passing it on to people I love.
Please excuse the passive voice in the previous paragraph. I know better ; )
Fast Copy is a lot of lively fun!

A native Texan myself, I found myself laughing all through this book. I caught continual glimpses of friends and relatives (and, yes, even myself!) in this wonderful little novel that explores Texas, football, and Texans.
However, it is not just a comedy that pokes fun at Texans. Nosiree! It deals specifically with Depression-Era Texas and makes us take a disturbing look at ourselves. How can someone callously believe that other humans are "just hobos"? Do we truly believe that appearances are more important than reality? What will one do for Love; is it ok to hurt others to pursue one's own pleasure?
This is a most thought-provoking work and well worth the time to read.
