For your consideration is the book, An Honest Try, by world renowned sculptor Bob Scriver, first edition 1975. A collection showcasing Bob Scriver's award-winning Rodeo Series of Sculpture. Scriver is one of just a handful of Western artists elected to both the Cowboy Artists of America and the National Academy of Western Art.
