Description:

No Guarantees - Adjust and Continue is based on an ancient wisdom before fast foods tried to hide these secrets to success, happiness, and enlightenment. What you will find are short stories, prose, and words organized in a way as to capture a moment, a feeling, and a story. They are clear examples of an educational system devastated by military priorities. The fact that the author was awarded countless awards, that he printed himself, doesn’t take away from the fame he has created for himself. No Guarantees - Adjust and Continue was found written on the walls of a gas station bathroom in the suburbs. It is believed that the person who wrote this had studied with the Great Ones, 1950 TV Comedians, by meditatively watching endless hours of TV as a child. Don’t let the fact that this book has been given away and at times people were paid to take it, stop you from buying it. The secrets that are revealed in this book will change everyone’s life around you. Unfortunately you have to change your own life.

Quirky stories & revealing surprises abound here. Short and packed with meaning, these are stories to be savored. One can almost see them as performance pieces. Protest art. Surreal emotional moments. Paradoxical portraits. This author has a strong and unique voice. Great collage art on the covers. A rare book, worth seeking out. As the author states, "The secrets that are revealed in this book will change everyone's life around you. Unfortunately you have to change your own life." VisionWorks - Dick Mcleester

I have only just read the "previews". I'm impressed! This stuff is laugh out loud funny, irreverent, true to life, makes me think. Thanks!

Paul Richmond has published a glossy-covered little book of irreverent, funny poems. He calls them "stories," and they are that too, most with a moral, or a peek into us showing that we all would be seconds if we were merchandise. He writes in a really loose, train-of-consciousness style that is easy to follow, inexplicably hilarious, and reminds me of Ginsberg and Beat poetry. The book is R-rated, you'd have to say.

I strongly recommend not waiting for him to read these stories at the All Small Caps nights. Owning a copy of "No Guarantees -- Adjust and Continue" is like having Paul Richmond at his best right in your pocket . . . and anybody who knows Paul knows what a treat that is, 'cause Paul's generally not in anybody's pocket!
