Marian Sandmaier,
author of Original Kin:
The Search for Connection Among Adult Sisters and Brothers
It is rare to find essays that are wise, deep, and entertaining. Garry Cooper delivers these attributes and more in his meditations and narratives on the nature of love, loss, self-repair, mortality, and what we owe to one another. His essays are relatable but not simple. Unusually, he is also able to bring to life his delight in cities as well as in the indifferent silence of nature. By the end of the book, you will feel that you know him well, and know yourself better.
S.L. Wisenberg
author of The Adventures of Cancer Bitch
Most memoirs are simply that: an individual’s recollection of portions of their lives that they hope are interesting enough to share with others. But when an experienced psychotherapist, backpacker, and hitchhiker writes his memoir, he offers more than his own experiences and dramas. From the opening scene of a harrowing lost-in-the-wilderness-and-making-stupid-mistakes tale to a cancer diagnosis to simply facing the knowledge that you have fewer years ahead of you than behind, themes of mortality echo throughout Good to the Last Drop. Recognizing that “We have a unique challenge: figuring out how to live through our final days,” Cooper spins his tales and reflections with humor and insights gained over decades of fatherhood, therapy and, yes, his fair share of mistakes, seeking experiences in nature, hitchhiking, and sensory deprivation tanks. He shows some of the techniques he’s used to recover (often slowly) from break-ups and grief (“Aches and pains reminded me in a good way that I was alive—signs of repair going on, not the harbingers of worse things to come. I remembered when optimism was a gateway to the future, not a survival strategy for getting through the present.”) He asks, If you die tomorrow more than once. As we’re all facing death through climate change, aging, and accidents he counsels, “Ultimately the most important thing is how we will go through our end times.” Highly recommended for anyone seeking to approach their own times with grace, good humor, and deliberation.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
