📚 About the Book: First published in 1913, Desert Gold is one of Zane Grey’s best-known adventure romances, set along the turbulent Mexican border.

✨ Collector Notes:

Zane Grey is one of the most collected Western authors.

Grosset & Dunlap “Great Western Edition” books were popular mid-century reprints with dramatic dust jacket art — highly displayable even in worn condition.

This edition bridges the pulp Western and collectible Zane Grey markets, especially appealing to readers who love vintage cover art.
