Books with author Cook Cook

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Part Charlie Chaplin, part Rimbaud, visionary poet Rob Cook recreates childhood and young adulthood in one of the funniest yet emotionally potent collections to appear. DIARY OF TADPOLE THE DIRTBAG is biography compressed into a series of darkly humorous vignettes—bristling, self- deprecating, yet celebratory. A long- haired Tadpole at last emerges from the miasma of his boyhood in an ill- fitting green trench coat. His saving graces are his acute vision (although his eyesight is bad along with a host of other maladies)and his humor, gloriously his own. Although he fails, he wants to become the Einstein of Failure.

Life is a journey. From the beginning until our last breath we are on a quest to understand the meaning of it all. Come along with James and Michelle as they travel through the pages of this book on an adventure of their own. Faced with decisions and an array of challenging circumstances that shape their character, they must learn to trust what is right and true as they battle through trials and temptations on their search to find the way.
