PAGES ARE SLIGHTLY TURNED UP ON BOTTOM FRONT CORNER.  TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ON FRONT AND BACK COVER ARE SLIGHTLY WORN.  VERY SMALL SPOT ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF SOME PAGES.

Please remember these are used books.  I try to find books that are in good shape, but sometimes that is just not possible.  If I see something wrong with the book, I will describe the condition on the listing page. 

Please contact me before bidding if you think I have a rare book or first edition book.  Sometimes the ISBN# for a book differs from the eBay listing.  I certainly don't want you to purchase something from me, only to find out it was listed incorrectly.   

I only accept PayPal.  I'm sorry, but I don't accept checks or money orders. Also, if you are purchasing more than one item, and the auctions are ending on different days, please wait until you're finished shopping and then you can make one payment for all your books.

All orders are shipped media mail.  I ship the following business day after receiving a cleared payment.  If the post office takes longer than 2 - 9 days, I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is a matter beyond my control.  You will receive a tracking number from PayPal, so you can check on the status of your shipment at any time.

I charge $3.50 for shipping and $2.50 for each additional eligible book.  I do not offer refunds.  Insurance is available if you would like for $1.75.  If you choose the insurance coverage and your package gets lost or damaged you will be reimbursed for the price you purchased the book for. 

Thank you for visiting Turnthepage45.  I hope you found what you were looking for.  I am trying to sell things that will interest a wide variety of people, so please send me a message if you're looking for a certain book or author, and I would be happy to try and find it for you.     

Please feel free to contact me through eBay messaging, and I will try and get back to you asap.  If you have a problem or you're not satisfied for some reason, I would certainly like to hear from you.  I can't help you or find a solution to the problem if you just leave negative feedback.  

Thank you again for your business and please come back soon!

Synopsis
Tully Mars lights out from Wyoming for a warmer climate after he incurs the wrath of his boss, who raises poodles for a living and has hired a squad of goons to track him down. As he heads south, Tully meets the woman of his dreams, leaves her with reluctance, evades the evil posse, and, after a series of adventures, ends up in the Caribbean. There he's hired by a wealthy woman (aged 103) who wants him to restore a lighthouse. What follows is typical Jimmy Buffett-land, where the order of the day is good sex, good fishing, good pot, and plenty of hanging out with the colorful locals.

Publisher's Note

Industry reviews
"As usual, a pleasant...buzz all the way through."
Kirkus  (10/15/2004)

"[A] groovily laid-back, ramblingly anecdotal, sun-soaked bit of Caribbean escapism....This book is as cheery and tropical as Buffet's music."
Publishers Weekly  (10/18/2004)

"Perhaps it is because Buffet has long been a writer of lyrics that his prose style now seems to flow in a fresh, fanciful, finely imagined fashion....Buffett knows better than most that life is all about how we mix our metaphors. And yet the nonfictional aspects of the book appear to be as grounded an well constructed as, for want of a better image, a lighthouse at sea. Buffett has clearly researched his subject. but I suspect the true research for this novel has already been done on land and air and sea in all the years the author has spent as a highly active participant-observer of life."
New York Times Book Review - Kinky Friedman (11/28/2004)

"This Caribbean-hopping novel overflows with a credible accumulation of nautical detail and palpable tropic sensuality."
Entertainment Weekly - Christophe Willmann (12/17/2004)
