Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. HarperCollins / Perennial, 2003. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Light edge and corner wear. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 243 pages. Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, in which we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. the good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "road" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Behind the fake Tudor facade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy traveling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose. Seller Inventory # RWARE0000000252
