Regional books of note in March: “Billionaire Wilderness” By Justin Farrell (Princeton University Press)  Kanye West is now a part-time Wyoming resident. West says that in Cody, where his ranch is located, he’s just like a local. Really?  If you read “Billionaire Wilderness,” you’ll know that as much as they think they are, the ultra-rich Wyomingites are never just one of the locals. Written by part-time Denver author Justin Farrell, the book actually is about Jackson, which — thanks to Wyoming’s tax breaks and a spectacular setting — has more ultra-rich people per capita than any other county in the United States.

    “End of Story,” by A. J. Finn (William Morrow) “End of Story,” by A. J. Finn (William Morrow) A. J. Finn’s “The Woman in the Window” was a huge best-seller. “End of Story” is destined to be, too.

    Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems). Right now, fans of sci-fi/fantasy films are going ga-ga over “Dune: Part 2” (which certainly is gorgeous). But I’m here to sing the praises of another space opera. A young George Lucas talks with Anthony Daniels, who plays the robot C-3PO, for the film “Star Wars: A New Hope,” in 1977. I was a bit late jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon.
