About this title

Synopsis:

A highly collectible first edition protected in a new brodart wrapper, not price clipped, an ex-lib or book club edition, no markings throughout.\n\nNow, at last, the truth revealed... Master storyteller and humorist Stuart McLean takes us into the deepest recesses of the Vinyl Cafe to reveal the secret lives and hidden passions of the seemingly ordinary folk found there. The Vinyl Cafe Diaries answers these and other probing questions: \n\n- What is Dave doing, by himself, in a Halifax hotel room, with a duck? - What purloined item has Sam surreptitiously stuffed under his mattress and why? - Why is Dave hollering and pounding on the door of the neighbour's house with a small boy clutched in his arms? - What grisly secret is Stephanie hiding in her father's picnic cooler? - Why is Kenny Wong laughing to himself as he reads the want ads? - Why in the name of decency is Morley parading around in Stephanie's clothes? - What are in the mysterious brown-paper packages that Sam is receiving by mail? - What cartoon character has been the object of Stephanie's unrequited love? - And why is Dave wearing that awful Grateful Dead T-shirt?
