Each week for nearly three decades, Phillips has paid tribute to the folks whom he considers to be the real heroes of our time—the everyday men and women who make Texas such an incredible place. Texas Country Reporter: Stories from the Backroads is a heartwarming companion book to the TV series that highlights fifty of Phillips' favorite stories Phillips recalls a cowboy with the heart of a poet, a passionate sculptor, and a man who makes baseball bats. He revisits a sanctuary for abandoned pigs, a resurrected ghost town and an eatery with Texas-sized pancakes. With full-color photographs, wit and charm, he shows us the heart of the Tone Star State. As part of the Author Series at the Texas A&M Bookstore, Bob Phillips will discuss and sign Texas Country Reporter at 5:00pm on Monday, December 4th. All events are free and open to the public.
