Description
I and ClaudieI and Claudie is a delightful and captivating novel about a couple of bungling but good hearted con men who (barely) make their way across Texas over a two year period in the 1930s. Their adventures, Anderson said, were "in no sense autobiographical, but sometimes I am sorry they are not." The charming con men outwit lumbermen, oil men, and others, but are sometimes the victims themselves. Clint Hightower (the "I" in the title) is a smooth talking
I and Claudie is a delightful and captivating novel about a couple of bungling but good-hearted con men who (barely) make their way across Texas over a two-year period in the 1930s. Their adventures, Anderson said, were "in no sense autobiographical, but sometimes I am sorry they are not." The charming con men outwit lumbermen, oil men, and others, but are sometimes the victims themselves. Clint Hightower (the "I" in the title) is a smooth- talking maker of deals; Claudie Hughes, all 6'6 of him, is his slower-of-mind sidekick who does all the real work and, often unwittingly, saves the day. The reader is both entertained and informed by the book. We learn much about Texas and Texans of the period. We learn about hurricanes along the coast, oil leasing and lumbering in East Texas, buried treasure in West Texas, the state fair in Dallas, the stockyards in Forth Worth, farming along the Brazos River, and more. The stories that make up the novel have been compared in style to O. Henry's classic tales. Several of them appeared in the venerable Atlantic Monthly before the book was published in 1951. One of A.C. Green's all time top 50 I and Claudie is a delightful book. One or two latter-day critics have termed it too ingenuous for our sophisticated age. Don't believe them. Clint Hightower would be right at home today in many an executive suite, with Claudie . . . waiting to take the fall for him.-- A. C. Greene, The Fifty Best Books on TexasBinding Type: Paperback

Stacking shelves
These work perfectly, even in rooms with high ceilings. One thing I didn’t really see mentioned or highlighted anywhere is that they can be stacked. I decided to try it anyway, and it turned out awesome. I purchased two units and placed one on top of the other, which essentially created one tall shelf. It ended up being a great way to maximize vertical space and made the setup look much more custom and intentional

Do not hesitate!
I was hesitant with some reviews saying it comes with scratches. This was packaged extremely well and it only had one or two very minimal scratches that you barely can even see. It is very sturdy and took about 40 minutes to build. It looks amazing and is not bulky but holds a lot which I love. After building this one, I immediately ordered a second one to go on the other side of my window. My son walks in and saw this bookcase and now wants one for his room, so I will be definitely ordering more.

I love this shelving unit!
We recently moved into a smaller home and I was struggling with storage. I found this and I’m so glad I did.
It looks so good and I was able to assemble pretty quick, I think like 20 mins. I still need to get my husband to attach it to the wall but it’s the prefect size for my space.
The only thing I wish was better is the instructions to assemble. It’s really easy once you figure it out but the instructions are just a few pictures on a small piece of paper.
I love it!!!

Looks Fabulous!
Love this shelving unit. The golden honey with dark colors wood looks real even though it's a laminate. I like the open look. It's strong and holds a lot. Super easy to put together. I absolutely love mine.
