WHAT IS A PRINT ON DEMAND BOOK?

A Print On Demand (POD) book is, as the name implies, printed by the publisher on demand, meaning the books are made to order for the customer.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Due to the nature of POD books, they are non-returnable to the publisher. Therefore we require a non-refundable deposit in the amount of 50% of the cost of the book before we submit the order to the publisher. This deposit is then applied toward the final cost of the book once it arrives. All Print On Demand books are final sale.

We should also note that due to the nature of print on demand titles, the quality of the book can differ from that of a regular book, in that sometimes in the event of older material it can appear like a scan or photocopy, or occasionally have an unappealing design, layout, or typeface.

Once the POD book is ordered it typically takes about 2-3 weeks to receive your copy at the store, at which point we would charge your credit card for the balance owing (minus the deposit already charged) and, depending on which option you chose at checkout, contact you regarding shipping or to let you know the order is ready for pick-up.

By adding a Print On Demand title to your cart and completing the checkout process, you agree to our terms and conditions.

If you have any questions about Print On Demand books, please contact your nearest McNally Robinson bookstore.

*Note: These terms and conditions do not apply to Print-On-Demand titles that are currently in stock at one of our bookstores.

Description

A gripping story of a young man's bout with his battles in real life and a fictitious reality. Unable to separate the make believe from the everyday world, the struggle of radio personality Darcy Buckner is as touching as it is tragic. From the highs of career success to the lows of sociopathic depression, Buckner gives people a reason to love him and hate him. Despite constant rejection from family, Buckner is convinced he can overcome and lead a happy life, although the paths he takes have more than a few bumps along the way.

Buckner follows two life paths: a make-believe world where he is a celebrity, and in the real world where he is becoming a well-known personality. The two worlds often remain separate, but frequently collide to create disastrous results.

Being socially inept, Buckner sabotages relationships and thinks hatred will get people to like him. Whether it is turning on his best friend and secretly revealing her betrayal or owning a successful media company that sees him mingling with celebrities on the red carpet, Buckner never knows how he will react and if life will come crashing down.

A Double Dose of Sociopath traces the emotionally unstable journey of Darcy Buckner, examines his dynamic relationships and his extreme reactions to the self-created worlds around him.
