Publisher's Note
The book opens with Tim suddenly waking from a strange dream. He's been reading late into the night about today's hot scientific topic - quantum physics - and what he's learned about the nature of reality really disturbs him. Fortunately, he's got plenty of time to mull it over. Tim's wife and daughter are going away on a camping trip, and Tim is left at home with their dog, Spot. At first, he's excited at the opportunity to eat what he wants (bologna and potato chip sandwiches), watch the sci-fi videos he loves, and finish the 1946 Ford he's been restoring so he can deliver it to a car show on Monday. Unfortunately, he can't find the final part: a one-of-a-kind hood ornament. He encounters very strange coincidences, meets people he doesn't know who seem to know too much about him, and wonders if his life is half full or half empty. As he roams from room to room, Tim ponders how we wind up sounding like our parents when we raise our own children ("Don't stir your ice cream into soup!"), men's fascination with pricey gadgets ("Does this drill bit set really cost $89,000?"), and how romantic "chemistry" really works ("It's all based on salt"). He describes his own rise to celebrity and what it's like to buy groceries without wearing a mask. He explores the allure of hot cars, the temptation of fast-food chain prizes which seem to be getting bigger and bigger all the time ("I'll have the happy meal and the Harley, please"), and his obsession with his place in the cosmos. I'm Not Really Here deals, in the Toolman's inimitable way, with some of the urgent questions a man faces at midlife, from "What is real?" to what should he eat for breakfast ("The gummy cinnamon buns or the cereal no onecan pronounce? Moose lips. Mouse licks"). This book is a culmination of a five-year journey of self-discovery. It will surprise and challenge, make you wonder and think, and induce laughter on every page. Tim searches for the meaning of life...."I'm Not Really Here" fearlessly takes on the issues that matter most to the millions of men from their late twenties to early sixties who make up Tim's core group of fans. These extremely funny musings from the most hapless male in America equal a home run hit that will out-do even his first enormous bestseller.

PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING!!!! Not responsible for people who can't read or misunderstands what is offered. Email is provided for any questions you may have....

Description:

This auction is for the item listed in the title of the auction. I sell magazines, books, and cd's and many other items so if you have any questions about what you are bidding on or buying PLEASE email me at: micrchrdsn@comcast.net so I can help you out BEFORE you bid or buy the item.

I have recently bought out a few local stores and people of their inventories so just about everything I am selling is dealer stock, though some have also come from friends and other outlets. I'm a pack rat never throw anything away.

Having said that though due to the shear quantity of items I am listing I am unable to grade any of the books or magazines before selling. I try to include a picture of the more high priced items so you can judge for yourself. I also offer a full money back guarantee on just about everything I sell as long as the item is returned to me. Bid with confidence that if there is any item you don't like simple return it to me within 7 days for a full refund.

Shipping and Handling:

Shipping and handling will be calculated as full price for the first item you buy and half price on each item after that. So let me give you an example: Let's say you buy 10 of the $1 buy now magazines from me I have listed. The total cost would be $10 for the the magazines, $4 for shipping on the 1st magazine and $2.00 each for shipping and handling on the other 9 magazine equaling $18.00 for a grand total of $32.00 for the 10 magazines for the magazines and the shipping total.

Now to the international buyers. PLEASE BE WARNED!!!! All international orders are 4 times the normal shipping and handling fees. I have ran into many problems before shipping to international addresses that I really hate to do it anymore. But it seems that if I don't offer it I get 100 emails a day from international buyers wanting me to make an exception for them. Hence the reason for the higher shipping cost to discourage international buyers. If you don't like the higher fees please feel free to bid on someone else's items.

This allows me to keep all my prices very low and encourages people to buy multiple items at a time to save on shipping. It also covers not only the postage to mail the items to you but all the fees and materials that go into packaging the items. This price and formula is set in stone. Please do not try to haggle over price after winning the auction or after receiving the items. The price is clearly listed and is up front so everyone knows BEFORE they buy everything that they will be charged.

Payments:

I accept Paypal ONLY. Paypals is fast free and safe. If there is any problems we can handle it through emails or through them very quickly to resolve anything that may come up.

Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery especially with larger orders. They do take time to pull package and ship.

Feedback:

Feedback is left in response to feedback received. So if you want feedback left for a transaction please leave it for me and I will respond in kind. I don't feel a transaction is complete until I receive feedback and will be glad to leave a great one for anyone who wants it.

Again if you have any questions PLEASE email me at: micrchrdsn@comcast.net
