FRONT COVER HAS FOLDS/CREASES ON TOP AND BOTTOM CORNERS. 

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 business days, I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is a matter beyond my control.  Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico can take 3 - 6 weeks.  You will receive a tracking number from PayPal, so you can check on the status of your shipment at any time.

I charge $3.25 for shipping and $1.00 for each additional eligible book.  I do not offer refunds.  Insurance is available if you would like for $1.65.  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!

Publisher's Note
Imagine that there are American MIAs who chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War.

Imagine that there is a family in which four generations of strong, alluring women have shared a mysterious connection to an outlandish figure from Japanese folklore.

Imagine just those things (don’t even try to imagine the love story) and you’ll have a foretaste of Tom Robbins’s eighth and perhaps most beautifully crafted novel--a work as timeless as myth yet as topical as the latest international threat.

On one level, this is a book about identity, masquerade and disguise--about “the false mustache of the world”--but neither the mists of Laos nor the smog of Bangkok, neither the overcast of Seattle nor the fog of San Francisco, neither the murk of the intelligence community nor the mummery of the circus can obscure the linguistic phosphor that illuminates the pages of Villa Incognito.

A female fan once wrote to Tom Robbins:
“Your books make me think, they make me laugh, they make me horny and they make me aware of the wonder of everything in life.”

Villa Incognito will surely arouse a similar response in many readers, for in its lusty, amusing way it both celebrates existence and challenges our ideas about it.

To say much more about a novel as fresh and surprising as Villa Incognito would run the risk of diluting the sheer fun of reading it. As his dedicated readers worldwide know full well, it’s best to climb aboard the Tom Robbins tilt-a-whirl, kiss preconceptions and sacred cows goodbye and simply enjoy the ride.


From the Hardcover edition.
