En muy buen estado
Libro que se ha leído y que no tiene un aspecto nuevo, pero que está en un estado excelente. No hay desperfectos visibles en la tapa y se incluye sobrecubierta, si procede, para las tapas duras. Todas las páginas están en perfecto estado, sin arrugas ni roturas y no falta ninguna. El texto no está subrayado ni resaltado de forma alguna, y no hay anotaciones en los márgenes. Puede presentar marcas de identificación mínimas en la contraportada o las guardas. Muy poco usado. Consulta el anuncio del vendedor para obtener más información y la descripción de cualquier posible imperfección.

"Thank you for sending me a copy of the book." --Amy Poehler "Will try and get a quote back to you soon." --David Cross Automatic reply: Anderson is out of his office from December 21-22.

Yet failure 'doesn't mean the end of something,' Benjamin writes. 'Often, it's a springboard toward something better.' He delivers these and other words to live by with concision, wit and a stand-up's sense of timing." --Book Page, "His craft, and what makes him such an inspired and singular voice, is to make it look easy... That it's decidedly not that easy is part of the gag; writing this funny requires immense talent." -- AV Club "Benjamin's stories run the gamut from personal to professional and will leave you laughing out loud and embracing your own failures." -- HelloGiggles "Benjamin's unique take on the classic 'fail until you succeed' self-help industry looks to be as self-deprecating and absurd as his best work." --Brightest Young Things "Irreverent, edgy and hilarious...recommend to all who need a respite from stress and a good laugh." -- Booklist "Benjamin is up-front and funny as he recounts his unsuccessful launch of a kids' late-night TV talk show (tentative title: 'Midnight Pajama Jam') and documents his parental shortcomings (bad idea: babysitting an infant in a video arcade).

Synopsis
Most people would consider H. Jon Benjamin a comedy show business success. But he'd like to remind everyone that as great as success can be, failure is also an option. And maybe the best option. In this book, he tells stories from his own life, from his early days ('wherein I'm unable to deliver a sizzling fajita') to family ('wherein a trip to P.F. Chang's fractures a family') to career ('how I failed to sell a pilot'). As Jon himself says, breaking down one's natural ability to succeed is not an easy task, but also not an insurmountable one., H. Jon Benjamin - the lead voice behind Archer and Bob's Burgers - helps us all feel a little better about our own failures by sharing his own in a hilarious memoir-ish chronicle of failure., "Writing this funny requires immense talent." -- AV Club H. Jon Benjamin--the lead voice behind Archer and Bob's Burgers --helps us all feel a little better about our own failures by sharing his own in a hilarious memoir-ish chronicle of failure. Most people would consider H. Jon Benjamin a comedy show business success. But he'd like to remind everyone that as great as success can be, failure is also an option. And maybe the best option. In this book, he tells stories from his own life, from his early days ("wherein I'm unable to deliver a sizzling fajita") to his romantic life ("how I failed to quantify a threesome") to family ("wherein a trip to P.F. Chang's fractures a family") to career ("how I failed at launching a kid's show"). As Jon himself says, breaking down one's natural ability to succeed is not an easy task, but also not an insurmountable one. Society as we know it is, sadly, failure averse. But more acceptance of failure, as Jon sees it, will go a long way to making this world a different place . . . a kinder, gentler place, where gardens are overgrown and most people stay home with their pets. A vision of failure, but also a vision of freedom. With stories, examples of artistic and literary failure, and a powerful can't-do attitude, Failure Is an Option is the book the world doesn't need right now but will get regardless.

- v***v (2063)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
