Written by Ken Bruen and Jason Starr, this trio of books is some of the best fun one can have while reading! They're absurd, they're dark, they're viloent and they're funny as hell! All of the characters are delusional, which is where all of the fun begins in this globe-girdling tryptych. "Bust", 2006, is the only one of these showing it's age, it was purchased second-hand, a cocked spine and a bottom right-hand cover corner which is missing but "Bust", 2007 and "The Max", 2008, appear to be brand new, though I read them each lightly, just to be sure you wouldn't be wasting your time! Each has a straight spine, uncreased, and unmarked pages and each is stored in a plastic bag. Payment is by paypal and is expected within 7 days of auction's end, shipping is via USPS Media Mail. Ask any questions, I'll tell you no lies. Thanks for checking these books out, happy bidding and good luck!
