Spiral bound. Good. [6], 48 pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Cover has some wear and soiling. Scuff at rear cover. This book contains only a small percentage of the thousands of items the author has written over the preceding quarter century. Much of this writing is playing with words, twisting words and phrases to see what happens. As the author wrote--sometimes it works. The author also opined that "life is too serious to be taken seriously." From an obituary of the author posted on-line: Doug was a member of the McInnes pioneer family that came to Sequim in 1860. He was born in Sequim on June 18, 1929. He graduated from Sequim High School in 1948 and then from the University of Washington. Doug was in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1954. He worked for Boeing in Seattle from 1957 to 1971 during the B-52 Bomber, Bomarc missile and early commercial-jet era. His major avocations were golf, crabbing, history, humor - and especially writing. He wrote a local history column for the Sequim Gazette from 2000 to 2004 that mainly described Sequim in the 1930-to-1950 period. These columns were included in his 2005 book Sequim Yesterday. Doug also wrote My Uncles and Other Related Tall Tales, a variety of short, humorous stories., Doug McInnes, 2003, 2.5, Ny And London: Garland Publishing. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1988.
