Each Christmas Eve thereafter, fans rejoiced when Johnson sent out a new short story featuring an episode in Walt's life that doesn't appear in the novels; over the years, many have asked why they can't buy the stories in book form. Wait for Signs collects those beloved stories; and one entirely new story,;Petunia, Bandit Queen of the Bighorns; for the very first time in a single volume, regular trade hardcover. With glimpses of Walt's past from the incident in; Ministerial Aide; when the sheriff is mistaken for a deity, to the hilarious;Messenger; where the majority of the action takes place in a Port-A-Potty, Wait for Signs is a necessary addition to any Longmire fan's shelf and a wonderful way to introduce new readers to the fictional world of Absaroka County, Wyoming.

Customer Reviews

A bit of déjà vu.

This book is a collection of short stories, about half of which have appeared in other Craig Johnson/ Longmire publications, so you may have read some before. That said, the first story is worth the price of the book. Now, about customer service... Remember when people did their job and it was not a cause for astonishment and celebration? It was just a company doing their job. The book I ordered arrived quickly. The price they quoted was reasonable and it was the price I was charged. The book was advertised as "like new" and the book that arrived looked like new. What's the big deal? They did their job, or as Karen would sing, "Its yesterday once more."
