The most famous rodeo champion of all time tells his amazing true story -- and opens a fascinating window into the world of the professional cowboy.

Ty Murray was born to be a rodeo star -- in fact, his first words were I'm a bull rider. Before he was even out of diapers, he was climbing atop his mother's Singer sewing machine case, which just so happened to be the perfect mechanical bull for a 13-month-old. Before long, Ty was winning peewee events by the hatful, and his special talent was obvious...obvious even to a man called Larry Mahan. At the time the greatest living rodeo legend, six-time champion Mahan invited a teenaged Ty Murray to spend a summer on his ranch learning not just rodeoing but also some life lessons. Those lessons prepared Ty for a career that eventually surpassed even Mahan's own -- Ty's seven All-Around Championships.

In King of the Cowboys, Ty Murray invites us into the daredevil world of rodeo and the life of the cowboy. Along the way, he details a life spent constantly on the road, heading to the next event; the tragic death of his friend and fellow rodeo star Lane Frost; and the years of debilitating injuries that led some to say Ty Murray was finished.

He wasn't. In fact, Ty Murray has brought the world of rodeo into the twenty-first century, through his unparalleled achievements in the ring, through advancing the case for the sport as a television color-commentator, and through the Professional Bull Riders, an organization he helped to build.

In the end, though, Ty Murray is first and foremost a cowboy, and now that he's retired from competition, he takes this chance to reflect on his remarkable life and career. In King of the Cowboys, Ty Murray opens up his world as never before.

Beautiful and high quality book, highly recommended for Ghost fans
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I pre ordered this the day they went live, knowing I would not be disappointing. I wasn't. The slipcase that comes with it is sturdy and protects the book well. The book itself is quality and has a great spine that lets you set the book down, and will keep the page open without you needing to hold it, which is a common issue with books. The art itself is gorgeous, sometimes spanning pages. There is commentary and notes from 2 great people from SUcker Punch Productions: Jason Connell and Andrew Goldfarb, providing insight in to the development process of Ghost of Tsushima. Much to my surprise, there is even a whole chapter dedicated to the upcoming co-op expansion to the game, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. I am supremely happy with my purchase.

Great quality
Format: Hardcover
Not sure why the one guy had to compared this book the the MGSV one. But it is a great quality art book. Yes the paper is not glossy but it actually makes it more viewable in all conditions in my opinion. Paper very much reminded me of what high quality Japanese art is usually printed on. Love that the book comes with details on what they were thinking while designing everything. Great game worth the buy now before this thing becomes rare and hard to get!

Overall, a great gift for a lover of this game. The content is beautiful. The only thing that was frustrating was our first order of the book was damaged, we had to get it replaced.

Gorgeous artwork in a beautifully bound book

This was such a wonderful surprise! I cannot believe how beautifully bound this is, and the slipcase feels expensive too! It's a steal at this price point. The images are printed so nicely too, a lot of love went into this.
