Purchase FAQ:
1. Are all the original books sold in the shop genuine?
Of course. All the books sold in the store are genuine original books legally imported through the book importer designated by the state;
2. Why do some books look rough, yellow or gray?
Most of the original literature books are printed on recycled paper,Recycled paper is a kind of paper produced with waste paper as raw material through more than ten processes such as sorting, purification, beating and papermaking. This kind of paper is relatively light, easy to carry and conducive to protecting the health of eyesight. Even if you read for a long time, you wont feel too tired (most domestic books are printed on white offset paper);
3. Why are some original books printed in China?
In order to save costs, improve timeliness and other reasons, the publishing house will arrange some original books to be printed in China (of course, the paper and quality of domestic printing are also designated and supervised by the publishing house). Our procurement can only be sold after passing the formal import declaration examination procedures;
4. How to distinguish the various binding forms of the original book?
Hardcover: the cover of the book is hard cover. When the new book was just published, most publishers published it in this form;
Paperback: the book cover is a soft leather cover. The paperback content of the same book is the same as the hardcover content, and the price is cheaper than the hardcover;
Mass Market Paperback: the paperback content of the same kind of books is the same as that of hardcover and paperback, and the size will be smaller (generally about 18 * 11cm). The typesetting is more compact than the above two kinds of binding and easy to carry;
5. How much is the format of the original book?
Original books do not have the same definition of size as domestic books. They are generally defined according to size. For example, the size of hardcover version of novel original books is generally about 24 * 16cm (equivalent to 32 Kai in China) and the size of paperback version is generally about 20 * 13cm (equivalent to 32 Kai in China); The size of paperback version is generally about 18 * 11cm (smaller than 32 opening); Of course, there are some special binding, and the specific size is also different. Please ask the waiter in the store for the specific situation;
6. Why are the covers of the same ISBN different?
There are a small number of best sellers published in the society. When the old version is still in stock, they republish the new version with a new cover. The old version and the new version are the same except for the cover. If you are very concerned about the cover, please confirm the cover with the waiter on duty of our store;
I you a happy shopping!

Later, he participated in the creation of the "cold water flat" band, served as a drummer and toured the United States and Europe. He loved reading since childhood. When reading Carlos Fuentes our land, he suddenly felt that "this is what I want to do", and the idea of literary creation sprouted from then on.

Content introduction:
Pulitzer Prize, American Library Association Notable Book, PEN / Robert Bingham Fellowship for Writers Award
“In Paul Harding’s stunning first novel, we find what readers, writers and reviewers live for.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“There are few perfect debut American novels. Walter Percy’s The Moviegoer and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird come to mind. So does Marilynne Robinsons Housekeeping. To this list ought to be added Paul Harding’s devastating first book, Tinkers. . . . Harding has written a masterpiece.” — John Freeman, National Public Radio
“Tinkers is truly remarkable. It achieves and sustains a unique fusion of language and perception. Its fine touch plays over the textured richnesses of very modest lives, evoking again and again a frisson of deep recognition, a sense of primal encounter with the brilliant, elusive world of the senses. It confers on the reader the best privilege fiction can afford, the illusion of ghostly proximity to other human souls.” — Marilynne Robinson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Home, Gilead,andhousekeeping
“[Tinkers is] a novel that you’ll want to savor. . . . I found reading it to be an incredibly moving experience.” — Nancy Pearl
