Volume 4 of IPP’s Quarterstaff Series
We’ve all been there.
Exhausted, busy, or both… strapped into an undersized airline seat or camped at a coffee shop… and “that guy” (or gal) arrives. The bubbly sorority-girl-forever… the disgruntled MAGAt… the morose Ted Striker wannabe… or magnitudes worse than any of these, the suave fellow who “just wants to get to know you.”
A natural target by virtue of physical appearance, raw animal charm, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, that familiar sense of impending doom floods your gut. Cornered and logistically vulnerable, you avoid eye contact – exercising a William H. Macy façade of befuddled concentration on anything in close proximity. These subtleties having blown right past “Pat,” an utterly inane and soul-depleting conversation ensues.
Yes, you’ve been there. Trapped like a timeshare seminar victim, inwardly recoiling until it hurts. But it doesn’t have to be that way – at least not anymore.
Introducing the Intrusion Protection Press’s Quarterstaff series. Designed for the emphatically independent social participant, each Quarterstaff volume provides a Swiss Army Knife’s worth of pest repellent options:
- Front cover titles painting you in the worst possible light repulse the amateur gadfly.
- Chapter headers punctuating your interest in uncomfortable or unseemly topics fend off the moderately assertive nuisance.
- Strategically crafted, large-type “flash” messages leave distant pursuers with crystal-clear fair warning.
- A tool of last resort for the close-and-clingy vexation, back cover text makes a final plea for solitude.
Simply offer an unobstructed glance at your preferred message and allow social consequences to manage the rest! *
But that’s not all: Between the off-putting covers and playful chapter headings lie genuine, unadulterated folk and fairy tale goodness! Yes, three dozen classic stories to deepen your distraction, including…
The Flayed Old Lady
The Robber Bridegroom
The Dead Mother
The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf
Ashputtel
And many, many more!
Raise a glass to peace, tranquility, and happy reading!

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
