    " Inherent Vice  is the funniest book Pynchon has written. . . . It has the moral fury that's fueled his work from the start--his ferociously batshit compassion for America and the lost tribes who wander through it."-- Rolling Stone "Entertainment of a high order."-- Time  "A Great American Read."-- The Washington Post "A deliciously composed dark comedy."-- The San Francisco Chronicle

    Synopsis
    Part noir, part psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon--Private eye Doc Sportello surfaces, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era In this lively yarn, Thomas Pynchon, working in an unaccustomed genre that is at once exciting and accessible, provides a classic illustration of the principle that if you can remember the sixties, you weren't there. It's been a while since Doc Sportello has seen his ex- girlfriend. Suddenly she shows up with a story about a plot to kidnap a billionaire land developer whom she just happens to be in love with. It's the tail end of the psychedelic sixties in L.A., and Doc knows that "love" is another of those words going around at the moment, like "trip" or "groovy," except that this one usually leads to trouble. Undeniably one of the most influential writers at work today, Pynchon has penned another unforgettable book., "The funniest book Pynchon has written." -- Rolling Stone "Entertainment of a high order." - Time Part noir, part psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon--private eye Doc Sportello surfaces, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era.

      This by far is the most amazing packaging ever. What an awesome surprise....The book ordered was in EXCELLENT perfect condition...I have purchased new books from ebay but never has one arrived as advertised "NEW" and perfect like this one. Kudos to this seller....I am beyond impressed...certainly will be a returning customer. The price for the book was half the price of the same book from other sellers...and it was a good buy.

      Cookbook is as listed. Price is more reasonable than other sellers. I appreciate that the book was vacuumed sealed in recyclable packaging, so I can put in my Recycling Can. -- Better for the environment. Fast reasonable shipping. Would gladly purchase from this business again. A +++++++

      Recommend seller today. Book as described. Received in condition described. Book a little thinner than expected, but it is fine. No issues. Easy transaction with no hassles. Keep it going good. NOTE: I did not rate communication because I do not remember messaging the seller. Since it is not rated, you can assume the seller did what they are there to do: process my transaction, charge me, and send me the product in the proper packaging to arrive at my door in good, working condition.
