eBay • For Your Consideration: • A LOT OF TWO (2) BOOKS: • BY LEWIS NORDAN • TITLE 1: A SIGNED First Edition in HARDCOVER of “THE SHARPSHOOTER BLUES: A Novel” (1995, Algonquin Books) • TITLE 2: Uncorrected Proofs (Trade Paperback) of “THE SHARPSHOOTER BLUES: A Novel” (1995, Algonquin Books) • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “Once again fiction magician LEWIS NORDAN takes us to the Mississippi Delta to make us laugh…until we cry. The first question this remarkable new tale of mayhem and misunderstanding asks is, Who is singing the Sharpshooter Blues? Is it MORGAN, the teen-age trick-shot artist, who stops by The William Tell Grocery in Arrow Catcher, Mississippi, one day to show some fancy moves? Or is it MARSHAL CHISOLM who enforces Law and Order? Or is it one of the two lovely children who pick the wrong country store to rob? Or is it maybe HYDRO RANEY, a sweet, simple boy who des the right thing and loses everything? But the story asks a deeper question: Can the power of love hold up to the power of bullets? Don’t expect an easy answer, for, as one Arrow Catcher citizen puts it, ‘You wouldn’t want to hurt anybody, but when you were singing the blues…sometimes there was just nothing as satisfying as shooting a gun inside a house…it cleared the air.’ “THE SHARPSHOOTER BLUES is, in part, an exuberant meditation on America’s love affair with blue-steel barrels and snub-nose bullets, and in part, a heartbreaking look at the violence and loss that ensue when the guys come out to play one day in a small town. But most of all, after the bullets have flown, it’s a story of love—between fathers and sons, between husbands and wives, between gay lovers, and between friends.” —THE PUBLISHER • “Among the best American writers in any genre and form…his finest work so far.” —PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER • “Moving…outrageous.” —NEW YORK TIMES • “This is a marvelous book.” —VOICE LITERARY SUPPLEMENT • ABOUT THE AUTHOR: • “As if the worlds of WILLIAM FAULKNER and JAMES THURBER had collided.” —ASSOCIATED PRESS • “Few today are writing with such verve, intelligence, and compassion…. NORDAN bathes each character will an ornery love…for his goal is to get us to laugh at the whole of human existence—the pity, the horror, the vanity, the courage.” —RANDALL KENAN, THE NATION • “A writer of great talent.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY • “You’ll be amazed at the blatant delicacy of his touch.” —[MEMPHIS] COMMERCIAL-APPEAL • “NORDAN writes with a wildly original, almost hallucinatory flair…as funny a fiction writer as there is today.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY • • For other details about these two books, please see below. • TITLE 1: “THE SHARPSHOOTER BLUES: A Novel” AUTHOR: LEWIS NORDAN TYPE: HARDCOVER PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill (North Carolina), 1995 EDITION: First Edition, First Printing* *RE: On the Copyright Page, the statement “First Edition” & this Number Row: “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.” PAGES: 291 ISBN: 1-56512-083-3 NOTE: THIS BOOK is not an ex-library copy nor a Book-of-the-Month-Club edition.

THANK YOU! *********** *********** /\___/\ =•ᆺ•= “We believe it’s good business to be good to our customers.” *********** FLAPPINCAT’s HOUSE RULES *********** 1. GENERAL TREATMENT. We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay. 2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you. 3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION *********** DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail. FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it. GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.” RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven’t described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?) POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math). EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.) *********** SHIPPING *********** Every item is individually priced for postage. That price can be found in the listing, not here. UNITED STATES: In the USA, we ship books via MEDIA MAIL. Magazines are generally shipped PRIORITY MAIL; the Post Office does not permit magazines which carry advertising to be shipped MEDIA MAIL. INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS: To those international countries to which we ship (please see list), the cost of postage is calculated by eBay and individually listed with each item. EXPEDITED SHIPPING: In the United States, EXPEDITED SHIPPING is available if you request, and pay, for it BEFORE we ship your item. *********** HOW TO PAY *********** PAYMENT: As we ship promptly, we ask that you please pay promptly—via PAYPAL. With auctions, payments should be made before 3 days (72 hours) from the time an auction for an item closes. After 4 days—and independent of us!—eBay automatically begins a process for unpaid action. NEED MORE TIME? If you need more time to pay, PLEASE just contact us in advance of the deadline. We understand how life happens, so we don’t mind being reasonable. Thank you! *********** LASTLY *********** What more can we say? Haven’t we said enough? Well…we can always repeat ourselves.
