From the Inside Flap
The Bookcassette® format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.

Not the best of DeVries, but that's better than most,
By jcool (Houston, By God, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peckham's Marbles (Paperback)
Peckham is happily situated at the Garden of Disfunction. Hello! He meets the widow of the founder of the looney bin and makes her his own - until a greater foe approaches. Who's crazier? That's always been DeVries's forte, piano, mezzo, and other operatic jokes. But seriously folks, the man runs rings around the English language, dropping puns anywhere he thinks you're not looking. Watch your step.

By Judy Smith "judylynnsbooks" (jamestown, ky United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Peckham's Marbles (Paperback)
Earl Peckham failed to score with lissome Bonnie Aspenwall or her statuesque aunt, Mrs. DelBelly. Gnawed by frustration, driven by curiosity, he sets out for America's heartland to find the three readers who actually bought his novel (he only sold 3 copies of it). It is an additional burr under his saddle that his laggard publisher also purveys bestselling "trash" by first novelist Poppy McCloud. But when Earl meets Poppy autographing books in Omaha, the die is cast...for an affair of such sublime incongruity and misguided patronizing, as Peckham plsys Svengali to Poppy's Trilby, that neither love and literature will ever be the same.
