paperback. Condition: 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… 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.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Some books want to be understood. Meet My Maker / The Mad Molecule (1975 Penguin edition) by J.P. Donleavy would prefer you to loosen your tie, lower your expectations of orderly reality, and come along for a brisk, sideways stroll through the sort of literary landscape where logic is optional and cha…rm arrives slightly dishevelled, asking if you?ve got a spare drink and a tolerance for mischief. Donleavy is the patron saint of elegant chaos: a writer who can make a sentence sound like it?s wearing a dinner jacket while simultaneously falling down the stairs. If you?ve ever wanted prose that behaves like a witty rogue at a party ? dazzling, unreliable, and likely to leave with your coat ? this is your man. And this particular double-whammy of titles, Meet My Maker and The Mad Molecule , sounds like the sort of pairing you?d get if you asked a publisher for ?existential dread? but also requested it be delivered with a wink and a raised eyebrow. What are these stories? They?re Donleavy stories, which means they?re less about neat plots and more about voice, momentum, odd encounters, and the constant sensation that the narrator is improvising his life in real time. Expect sharp humour, sudden melancholy, and that distinctive Donleavy tone where comedy and despair sit on the same barstool pretending not to know each other. There?s a heady mix of invention and confession, the kind of writing that can turn a trivial moment into something strangely poignant, then immediately undercut it with a line so cheeky you?ll hear yourself snort-laugh and feel mildly ashamed. The ?mad molecule? of the title feels like a warning and a promise. This is literature with fizz in it ? restless energy, jittery imagination, and the sense that human beings are basically complicated chemical reactions in hats. Donleavy has always been brilliant at skewering pretension while also quietly admitting he?s not immune to it. He?s an equal-opportunities troublemaker: he?ll poke at society, at class, at romance, at ego, at ambition ? and then he?ll poke at his own narrator for thinking any of it can be tidied up. The Penguin paperback format is perfect for this kind of thing: a proper, pocketable dose of literary unruliness, the sort of book that makes you feel faintly more interesting just by being near it. It?s from an era when you could buy a slim paperback, get your mind slightly rearranged, and still have change for a sandwich. Condition: Good ? exactly right. A Donleavy book shouldn?t feel untouched. It should look like it?s been carried around, read in cafés, possibly waved about during an argument, and occasionally reopened just to re-read a line that was either hilariously rude or uncomfortably true (or both). Sold by Crappy Old Books , because we believe everyone deserves a bit of refined anarchy on their shelves. If you want a book that behaves itself, buy a manual. If you want something clever, strange, funny, and faintly feral in a well-tailored suit, Meet My Maker / The Mad Molecule is ready to cause just the right amount of trouble.
