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

Red Dashboard LLC Publications presents a blend of fiction and poetry--On The Bright Side of Down by Grant Guy. He takes us on a road trip across the changing landscapes of time, styles and form. Grant takes us to the last stand of Johnny Ringo, to the back-road circuses and sideshows that pulled their wagons across the Great Plains and Prairies of the United States and Canada, and growing up in a small town where hopes are big, temptation out of reach and outcomes undetermined. The living, the dead and the inanimate get a chance to say their piece, sometimes deadpan and sometimes tongue- in-cheek, in this collection of writings of truths, half truths and lies. Reality. Legend. Myth.

Grant Guy was born and raised in Western Canada, growing up and living in Winnipeg. Grant is a Winnipeg writer, playwright, theatre director and designer, having designed and directed productions across Canada. He has written a number of plays for his theatre company Adhere + Deny (1999 to 2014). His plays for A+D include Still Walking, Song For Simone and an adaptation of Paradise Lost. In his work on the idea of the Old West have appeared in his monologues during the 1980s and '90s. He returned to the Western theme with his un-produced play Westward Ho, which eventually was turned into the short story The Go-Devil. He is continuing to write short stories, poems and subjective travelogues on the Canadian and American Old/New West history and myths. Grant's writings have appeared in Prairie Journal of Canadian Poetry, Paper Wait, Canadian Dimension, Poolside, The Harold, the New Democrat, the Commonwealth, Flashpoint, Northern Light, Mid-continental and Lexica. He has written responses on art exhibits for Ace Art, Plug in Gallery and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. He has conducted readings of his work in the Winnipeg area. In 2004 he was selected for the Manitoba Arts Council's Award of Distinction. His works have appeared in many forms, but officially Johnny Ringo was serialized in Cowboy Poetry Press.com print anthology, Unbridled.
