Dear Old Love is a collection of anonymous love notes to the ones who got away-or were left behind. They're the notes that ex-lovers have written to set the record straight. Or crooked.

Author: Jessica Pallington West

Binding: PB

ISBN: 9781408802274

RRP: $19.99

Our Price: $17.99 incGST BUY

 

What is a wiseman? What is a prophet? Someone with a strange, unflappable demeanor. Someone who speaks in cryptic koans, words whose meanings take years to unravel. Someone who has confronted death, God, sin, and the immortal soul. Someone unfit for this world, but too brilliant to depart it. Someone - in short - like Keith Richards. Here, at last, the wisdom of this indefatigable man is recorded and set forth. Not merely a compendium of wisdom, this book is also a complete guide to the inner workings of a complex and inspired belief system, and the life of a man sanctified by fame.
