Signed by the author with black Sharpie/marker on a preliminary page directly above the notation "This book is number 2666 in an edition of 4500." "In East of the Chesapeake Bill Turner writes about characters who might have inspired the likes of Daymon Runyon or Erskine Caldwell. Not that Turner is another Runyon or Caldwell. He isn't. He's Bill Turner. An original. In sculpting terms, a one-off. In writing about folks like Bill White and Jim Bogs, about Sweetheart, Froggy, Cabell and Mitt. Turner writes about honest-to-goodnesss characters. Mostly, [the book] is about the people, places and events which molded Turner into the same kind of character. Had Cabell Mapp outlived the author, he might have been the writer, Turner the subject. Mix these characters with Turner's fascination of the outdoors and things wild, plus his rooted love of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the title's inspiration, and you have the makings of a promising read. Add Turner's bent for storytelling and you have an enthralling read. Most chapters will make your chuckle. Some may make you laugh out loud. Others, like Froggy's Garden, may bring a tear. Are all the stories true? Are they all fiction? Are they a mixture of the two? Does it really matter?" - Bob Hutchingson, The (Norfolk) Virginian Pilot. "Bill Turner has done it again! Another wonderful memoir of growing up and living in a place wonderfully out of sync with the rest of our one-size-fits-all world. Turner uses his familiarity with Virginia's Eastern Shore much the way that William Faulkner uses his semi-mythical Mississippi county to create a cast of characters-rogues and heroes alike - whose adventures and misadventures we recall - and chuckle over - long after we've put his books down." - George Reiger, author of The Heron Hill Chronicle and Wanderer on My Native Shore.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
