Book is in great condition. Couple of small issues. One there is some fading on the cover, hardly noticeable except upon close inspection. Second, when the book was manufactured - I don't know if it was some of the glue from the binding or some other kind of adhesive ended up on the bottom edge of the book for the first few pages, so the first time we read it we had to slide our index finger in between the pages and separate the pages because they were a little stuck together, so the first few pages have a little bit of fraying from where they were stuck together and then separated, it's minor. See photos.
PAUL SCHEER
JOYFUL RECOLLECTIONS OF TRAUMA
From award-winning actor and comedian Paul Scheer, a candid and hilarious memoir-in-essays on coming to terms with childhood trauma and finding the joy in embracing your authentic self.
Paul Scheer has entertained countless fans and podcast listeners with stories about the odd, wild, and absurd details of his life. Yet these tales have pointed to deeper, more difficult truths that the actor and comedian has kept to himself. Now, he is finally ready to share those truths for the first time-but, of course, with a healthy dose of humor.
Blending the confident, affable humor that has won him a dedicated following with a refreshing level of candor, Joyful Recollections of Trauma chronicles Paul's often shocking, admittedly tumultuous childhood and how the experiences of his youth have reverberated throughout his life. In his com-edy, Paul has always been unafraid to "go there," to play naive, cringeworthy characters, imbuing them with disarming charm and humanity. That daring openness is on display in the pages of this memoir, but in true Paul fashion, it is also surprising, eye-opening, and side splitting.
In this madcap journey through the inner workings of his mind and creative process, Paul Scheer demonstrates once again that the truth is often stranger-and funnier-than fiction. Joyful Recollections of Trauma.offers a unique perspective on universal themes: growing up, working through a challenging childhood, staying true to oneself, and finding success, fulfillment, and happiness in often strange and difficult circumstances. Throughout, Paul shares both the hard-fought lessons and the laughter that can be found in the darkest parts of life, and reminds us that what matters is not what you've been through but who you are becoming.

See the photos for all the details, the book pictured in the photos is the exact one that you will receive, no stock photos here! eBay can be frustrating when it comes to buying books as most sellers just use a stock image of the cover and if you order from these big sellers that don't give you an actual photo of the book, you have no idea what you're going to receive condition wise. As a book lover myself I like to know exactly what I am getting, especially the condition so I take photos of the actual book for all of my book listings. So check out the images zoom in for the condition and the details and please message me if you have any questions at all, I'm happy to help.
Also this book is from a smoke-free home and smoke free environment.

I take very good care in shipping the few items I sell safely and quickly, and I take pride in providing excellent service, as I'm mainly a buyer here who buys random stuff (sometimes too) impulsively on eBay and I know what it's like to have a seller that doesn't pack something well, or doesn't communicate, or waits a week or more to ship something you've purchased. So I try to give the excellent communication and service that I like to receive as a buyer. And while this isn't a job for me, and I don't sell a ton of items, I've has this eBay account since February 2000 and I do take it very seriously and will make sure your item has lots of photos, is described very truthfully and accurately, is packed well, and shipped fast and safely.
I'm happy to add signature confirmation, or any other service (at your cost, in most cases) if you have any problems with package delivery at your home or apartment. Please contact me ahead of time when possible, I'll get a cost for it and I'll be happy to set that up for you.
Lastly, I'm pretty open to offers, so if it's an option, send one! Or, put it on your watched items list and I'll send you an offer.
