About This Item
Atlanta: Flatline Press, LLC, 2014. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Hardcover. 7 1/4" X 5 3/8". 101pp. Still enclosed in publisher's shrinkwrap, this is a pristine copy. About Unexpected Results: "In medicine, each day brings complex cases with life-or-death decisions. When these decisions succeed against the odds, the results are as uplifting as they are unexpected. Dr. Newton Turk gives his readers a remarkably wide and nuanced look at the life of a highly accomplished surgeon. He does so by presenting eight of his most unusual operations; each one involves a person with slim chances of survival, and each one combines science, intuition, and determination. His narrative style is terse yet amiable; his descriptions portray both the medical challenges and the colorful personality of each patient. What shines through is the author's boundless passion for helping others, his appreciation for the beauty of life and also its fragility. Unexpected Results is more than an enjoyable memoir; it is also a call to action: Dr. Turk believes that there is a dearth of surgeons in our country, and his book is aimed at persuading medical students to choose surgery as a career" (publisher).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
