hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that e…ncompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx "Outside of a Dog" is the captivating account of twenty-five books drawn from the fields of literature, psychology and philosophy, and a memoir of a reading self. Tracing the formative role books hav…e played in his life, Rick Gekoski trains the same ironic and analytic eye on these books and their authors as he does on himself. The result is unique: a sustained, witty book dedicated to the proposition that we are what we read. "Outside of A Dog" might be described as an intellectual bibliomemoir, except that the author regards the noun 'intellectual' as a term of abuse. Gekoski's twenty-five include: Dr. Seuss, "Horton Hatches the Egg"; Magnus Hirschfeld, "Sexual Anomalies and Perversions"; Allen Ginsberg, "Howl"; J.D. Salinger, "The Catcher in the Rye"; T.S. Eliot, "The Waste Land"; Descartes, "Meditations"; David Hume, "An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding"; W.B. Yeats, "The Collected Poems"; F.R. Leavis, "The Common Pursuit"; Matthew Arnold, "Culture and Anarchy"; Tom Wolfe, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"; Ludwig Wittgenstein, "Philosophical Investigations"; R.D. Laing, "The Divided Self"; Germaine Greer, "The Female Eunuch"; D.H. Lawrence, "Women in Love"; A.S. Neill, "Summerhill"; Roald Dahl, "Matilda"; Alice Miller, "Pictures of a Childhood"; A.J. Ayer, "Language, Truth, and Logic"; Sigmund Freud, "The Interpretation of Dreams"; Carl Hiaasen, "Double Whammy"; Peter Wright, "Spycatcher"; and, Rick Gekoski, "Staying Up". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. This captivating account explores twenty-five influential books from literature, psychology, and philosophy, serving as a memoir of the author's reading journey. Rick Gekoski examines the s…ignificant role these works have played in shaping his life, applying his characteristic ironic and analytical perspective to both the texts and himself. The result is a witty exploration of the idea that we are defined by what we read. Gekoski's selections include a diverse array of authors and titles, such as Dr. Seuss's "Horton Hatches the Egg," Allen Ginsberg's "Howl," J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," and T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." He also delves into philosophical works by Descartes and Hume, alongside influential texts by W.B. Yeats, F.R. Leavis, and Germaine Greer. The book reflects on the interplay between literature and personal identity, showcasing the transformative power of reading while avoiding the label of 'intellectual' that Gekoski finds pejorative. Through this exploration, he invites readers to consider how their own literary choices shape their lives.
