About this title

Synopsis

Meet Jake Strider--a cantankerous old country sage with an acerbic wit and a ribald sense of humor. The Old Man's Letters chronicles Strider's more notable correspondence to his son over a two-decade period. It's a hilarious, remarkable perceptive panorama of rural life, and the world outside it--A combination of down-home country humor and slick, sophisticated wit that will tickle your funny bone and touch your heart. The Clear Creek Press Second Edition offers many new stories, an exciting new cover, ivory parchment paper, and deluxe fonts throughout.

Jake's letters run the gamut from bizarre tales of crazy friends to poignant social and political points of view. In between it all, he paints a portrait of country living so vivid that you'll taste the rain on the wind--and for an hour or two, you will become part of America's heartland.

From the Publisher

Michael Reisig is an award-winning journalist who writes for Lancaster Newspaper Group. His high-adventure fiction novels are being compared with the writings of Robert Heinlein, and Michael Crichton. His first novel, The New Madrid Run, has been optioned for a major motion picture and will soon be published in Japan. The audio cassette rights for his second novel, The Hawks of Kamalon, along with The New Madrid Run, are now available through Books In Motion. In The Old Man's Letters, Reisig displays his versatility as a writer. You will not read this book without laughing out loud. He can draw a belly laugh from you in one paragraph, and touch you to silence in the next.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
