Fine in Fine jacket. Book. Signed by Author(s) A square solid tight unread copy. This copy has some light soil to the edges of the text block else fine. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY.
It is so seldom that a book can be taken seriously both as entertainment and literature, both brilliant and unique. Coomer's THE LOOP is a romantic, philosophical tutorial on one man's meaning in the universe as seen through the eyes of a fugitive parrot and a deliciously mischievous librarian. As daunting a task as it may seem, Joe Coomer's vision is so lucid, so rigorously observed that we never feel abandoned by the subject of his book for a moment. We are captivated and cared for by a man whose humanity is profound. Coomer is a national treasure, a poet laureate.
