• For your consideration: • A First-Edition Hardcover of: • “WOULDN’T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY NOW” (Random House, 1994) • BY MAYA ANGELOU • “The black woman’s poet laureate.” —ELSIE B. WASHINGTON, BLACK ISSUES BOOK REVIEW • “A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman. She inspired my own mother to name my sister MAYA.” —BARACK OBAMA • “Every once in a while you find a book that speaks directly to your heart. It answers something inside you never knew you had. For me that book is WOULDN’T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY NOW by MAYA ANGELOU. I’ve read some of her poetry and other works before and liked what I read, especially I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, but nothing spoke to me like MY JOURNEY. ANGELOU uses her naturally flowing language to tell her own story in essays.” —ANN PATTERSON-RABON, SPARTANBURG HERALD-JOURNAL • “She writes with alarming clarity about style and the art of living well, about how the coarseness of modern comedy is not funny, and about the importance of language based on mutual respect if our children are to grow up respecting others. But the deep personal reminiscences are the most interesting, for she is able to reveal herself at her most vulnerable with poetic charm. She tells of how, at 16, she lay sobbing on her bed because she had been fired from her job, until her mother convinced her that she was worth more than the job…. MAYA ANGELOU’s writing has served as an inspiration to many women, showing that it is possible to soar to great heights out of the deepest abyss.” —KATE FIGES, THE INDEPENDENT (UK) • “She rages with eloquence at the deaths of loved ones, and shares her thoughts on discovering an authentic personal style, the insidious effects of racism, and pregnancy as an experience to be shared by a woman and her mate. ANGELOU includes reminiscences of her childhood in Stamps, Ark., on being a single mother and on dancing in a professional duo with ALVIN AILEY. These quietly inspirational pieces convey her sense of life as an ongoing adventure.”—GENEVIEVE STUTTAFORD, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY • “An autobiography like none other…. The reader can almost hear her voice through the written words.”—MARIGOLD A. CLARK, THE DAILY NEWS (BOWLING GREEN, KY) • “She addresses such topics as tolerance, character, virtue, style, and the benefits of living live creatively…. MS. ANGELOU’s suggestions are simple but not simplistic. They are generous evidence of a life fully lived.”—ANNE WHITEHOUSE, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • “A must. Excellent!! I’ve recommended this to teachers and school counselors—in fact I’ve given my copy away to a teacher. Great to quick short stories that are a page or two but packed with though provoking tales. The power of a short story is incredible and students could really learn that for their college essays. I had it in my car to read while I waited for my kids so it was nice to have a few minutes pick up a book and read something very interesting and be done and not feel defeated because I only go through a couple pages in a chapter. I didn’t mention much about MAYA ANGELOU but she is a must have in your library! If you haven’t read anything by her, start here, then move on to I KNOW WHY THE CAGE BIRD SINGS.” —WUSS, AMAZON REVIEW • “The publication, in the nineties, of what can best be described as ANGELOU’s wisdom books—WOULDN’T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY NOW and EVEN THE STARS LOOK LONESOME—seems a more natural culmination of her work. Collections of homilies strung together with autobiographical texts, they stress the all-important ‘inner’ journey. ‘The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough,’ ANGELOU writes in WOULDN’T TAKE NOTHING. ‘She must have convinced herself, or be in the unending process of convincing herself, that she, her values, and her choices are important.’ ANGELOU’s memoirs are ample evidence that she has convinced herself of this.” —HILTON ALS, THE NEW YORKER • “Hallmarks of MS. ANGELOU’s prose style included a directness of voice that recalls African-American oral tradition and gives her work the quality of testimony. She was also intimately concerned with sensation, describing the world around her—be it Arkansas, San Francisco or the foreign cities in which she lived — with palpable feeling for its sights, sounds and smells.” —NEW YORK TIMES, THE AUTHOR’S OBITUARY (2014) • • For other details, please see below. • TITLE: “WOULDN’T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY NOW” AUTHOR: MAYA ANGELOU TYPE: HARDCOVER PAGES: 141 PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Random House (New York), 1993 ISBN: 0-679-42743-0 EDITION: First Edition, First Printing* RE: On the Copyright Page, the statement “First Edition” and the Number Row: “2 4 6 8 9 7 3.”** **NOTE: Random House signifies a First Printing when a “2” it is lowest digit in a Number Row.

We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay.2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. 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.

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).
