Adventures with Ed: A Portrait of Abbey by Jack Loeffler

Review quote from ipage.com: "...look to Loeffler to see why this husband, womanizer, and heavy drinker was beloved, even worshiped, by a wide circle of admirers."

"Ed Abbey and Jack Loeffler were like Don Quijote and Sancho Panza. Loeffler delivers his friend, warts and all on a platter full of reverence and irreverence and carefully researched factual information, interspersed with hearty laughter and much serious consideration of all life's Great Questions. Jack's story elucidates and demythifies the Abbeylegend, giving us powerful flesh and blood instead." John Nichols
