About this Item

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 encompasses 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.

Synopsis

Falling Upwards: Scenes From A Life

Click to enlarge by Tim Dry

Published by Exposure Publishing, December 2005, ISBN 1846850134

"It’s been a mostly amusing but sometimes frightening role, guest-starring in this strange performance called my life. The Beatles, Kate Bush, George Lucas, Mick Jagger, Bowie, Duran Duran, Gary Numan, Lindsay Kemp, Joan Collins, and Her Majesty The Queen have all figured in it somehow. And if you add sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll and a visit from a UFO, you’ll see that I’m spilling beans of a very unusual kind. So come with me, fasten your brainbelt and take a trip with someone old enough to know better but young enough not to care".

Waspishly funny, bizarre, self-deprecating, painfully honest, touching, intelligent, sharply-focused and fresh. Actor,mime, musician, photographer and once upon a time hippy Tim Dry tells his tales of 50 years of outrageous living in Britain.

In this book you'll read all about the history and adventures of TIK & TOK, on the road with SHOCK, filming Star Wars Episode VI 'RETURN OF THE JEDI, the fun and strangeness of Tim's 90 plus TV Commercials, working with GEORG KAJANUS in NOIR and a whole load more!
