About This Item
New York, NY 10010, U.S.A.: Doubleday, 2006. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black ink. At Zephyr Holdings, no one has ever seen the CEO. The beautiful receptionist is paid twice as much as anybody else, but does no work. One of the sales reps uses relationship books as sales manuals, and another is on the warpath because somebody stole his donut. In other words, it's an ordinary big company. Or at least, that's what everyone thinks. Until fresh-faced employee Jones-too new to understand that you just don't ask some questions at Zephyr-starts investigating. Soon Jones uncovers the company's secret: the answer to everything, what Zephyr Holdings really does, and why every manager has a copy of the Omega Management System. It plunges him into a maelstrom of love, loyalty, management, and corporate immorality-and whether he can get out again, now that's a good question. Third novel by the celebrated young Australian author of SYRUP and JENNIFER GOVERNMENT.As new, unread, first edition, first printing copy, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] L135
Synopsis
Max Barry is Australian, for which he apologizes. He is the author of Company, Jennifer Government, and the cult hit Syrup, although he spelled his name 'Maxx' for that novel because it seemed like a funny joke about marketing, without realizing everyone would assume he was a pretentious twit. He was born on March 18, 1973, and lives in Melbourne, Australia, where he writes full-time, the advantage being that he can do it while wearing boxer shorts. Max has a fantastic website and blog, www.maxbarry.com; nearly 1,000 Facebook fans; 1,100 followers on Twitter; and a sterling reputation on reddit.com.
