Any Zane Grey fans/collectors?

Man, I think I have read all of his books. Once ya got past all the adjectives in the book describing all of the scenery etc he didn't write bad stuff. Most of the ones I read were given to me by an old lady who had read them as a kid and you ng lady. The were all printed in the 20's and 30's and well used. All the extra words in descriptions were in there for a reason though. Writers used to get paid for the number of words in the story. I think ZG only got something like 1/2 cents per word
