A propos de cet article

As you can see from the photo of the front cover, this is an Uncorrected Proof. It was published in 1996. The novel was first published in 1997. There are no other Uncorrected Proofs for sale anywhere on the Internet. This is the only book that was published in 1996 for sale on the Internet. It was also the author's first book. You can see the covers in the photos. They do have some handling soiling. There is little crease at the front bottom corner. The page edges are mostly clean, a few tiny amber spots. The spine has a slight forward lean, but the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. Beginning with the first page of Chapter 1, there are seven consecutive pages with a few small amber spots. I turned over most of the pages and found approximately ten others with a few of the same amber spots. All the remaining pages are perfectly clean. All of the pages are bright. I found only one or two very light top corner creases. I didn't see any other creasing. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. Separately, inside the book, there is a Press Release dated 12 December 1996 from Acid Test Productions, announcing the publication of this novel in April 1997. One interesting tidbit: it says that the book will be 208 pages. This uncorrected proof is 236 pages. Also inside the book is a separate card of Acid Test Productions. Drawing from the press release: 'Through all the transitions in Ted Ringer's life, he maintained two influences that contributed to this novel: a love of the Grateful Dead and a friendship with the man who inspired the main character, Minnie. Ted Ringer could have been speaking of himself when he wrote, 'Minnie saw music as a sacred privilege you shouldn't abuse. You had to get off your butt and participate. Just like the song said, 'if you get confused, listen to the music play' and there you were. This was the truth. It had to be true or the Boys wouldn't be doing it this long. It was more than a job.' The press release states that 'the novel is about a delightfully offbeat character named Minnie, the owner of a Boulder, Colorado bar, who embarks on a much needed vacation that takes him on the road with The Grateful Dead and entangles him in an adventure that involves a greedy IRS, a paranoid and delusional CIA, and a plan involving The Grateful Dead to save the endangered rainforest from a dangerous coffee cartel. The IRS wants Minnie's money, the CIA wants a bootleg tape and the Dead lead him into acts of heroism he didn't know he was capable of. With the volume turned up, Minnie tangles with unsavory characters in Brazil, foils American Nazis, falls in love, appeases the IRS and fools the CIA.'.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
