• For Your Consideration: • A SIGNED HARDCOVER EDITION of: • “QUEEN OF THE TURTLE DERBY: AND OTHER SOUTHERN PHENOMENA” (Random House, 2004) (Hardcover, First Edition, Third Printing) • BY JULIA REED (1960-2020) • SIGNING NOTE: Inscribed & signed in black ink on the Title Page as follows: “For JUDY, from one southern girl to another, with all best wishes, JULIA REED.” • ABOUT THIS TITLE: “With a rare blend of literary elegance and plainspoken humor, the inimitably charming, staunchly Southern JULIA REED wends her way below the Mason-Dixon line and observes many phenomena– from politics, religion, and women to weather, guns, and what she calls ‘drinking and other Southern pursuits.’ To hear REED tell it, the South is another country. She builds an entertaining and persuasive case, using as examples everything from its unfathomable codes of conduct to its disciplined fashion sense. And then there is Southern food, which is an entire world apart: Gumbo, grits, greens, and, of course, fried chicken make memorable appearances in REED’’ essays, which will amuse, delight, and even explain a thing or two to baffled Yankees everywhere.”—THE PUBLISHER • “This is a wise and tender book. JULIA REED is a loving defender of the South. Long may she live and write. She understands the deep seriousness that underlies our Scotch-Irish, English, and African roots.” —ELLEN GILCHRIST • “I had some crab dip that JULIA REED made once that I would have eaten all of in one sitting, if I had been sitting, and if the other party guests hadn’t dragged me off of it. This book is that good.” —ROY BLOUNT, JR. • “Not since EUDORA WELTY has anybody captured in such sophisticated, often mordant prose the brave, gracious, perverse, reckless, God-fearing Southern soul like JULIA REED. Whether she’s holding forth on fried chicken and catfish, guns, booze, cockfights, pestilence, or Southern womanhood, REED loads both barrels and never misses the target. As a Carolina Tarheel, I rejoiced, cringed, marveled, and laughed myself sick at REED’s outrageous tales and savvy insights, and I defy anybody—Southerner and Yankee alike—to come up for are after reading the first chapter.” —JAMES VILLAS • “JULIA REED is right on target about the South—its food, its hair, its guns, its pests, even the tendency of southern women to kill their husbands and get away with it. She’s clear-eyed, raucously funny, and a natural story teller, which makes her something of a southern phenomenon herself.” —JOHN BERENDT • “JULIA REED’s affectionate and hilarious observations of the Deep South and Southerners past and present are a delight to read.” —FANNIE FLAGG • “JULIA REED is a Southern original. Her writing is funny and addictive, blending the street smarts of Greenville, Mississippi, where ‘girls are taught to drink Scotch and smoke cigarettes and drive a car by the time they are twelve,’ with the sophistication of a globe-trotting journalist. JULIA’s favorite subjects are Southern—fashion, politics, and above all food, which she describes with irresistible affection, knowledge and delight. If you’ve ever doubted that Southern food is our greatest gastronomic treasure, be prepared to learn the truth.” —JEFFREY STEINGARTEN • “QUEEN OF THE TURTLE DERBY AND OTHER SOUTHERN PHENOMENA will be a delight for all Southern readers (all about our favorite subject—us) and an educational tome for Unfortunate Others. It helps explain that We are, after all, just like Them—only funnier and better-looking.” —JILL CONNER BROWNE • “Rambunctiously charming…as refreshing and bracing as a mint julep…. Even the most hopeless Yankee will have no trouble getting in touch with her inner Poultry Princess.” —VOGUE • “An effervescent collection of essays…charming…amusing.” —NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “QUEEN OF THE TURTLE DERBY: AND OTHER SOUTHERN PHENOMENA” AUTHOR: JULIA REED TYPE: HARDCOVER PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Random House (New York), 2004 EDITION: First Edition, Third Printing* *RE: On the Copyright, the Number Row: “4 6 8 9 7 5 3.” NOTE: This copy is NOT an ex-library copy NOR a book-club edition.

We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven’t described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
