Book Description
Lord Timothy Dexter, the fortunate cynic, has made a mark in history with his many outrageous business ventures. From exporting coal to Newcastle and bed warmers to the tropics, he seemed destined to find success regardless of what endeavor he set out on. But beyond these quirky scruples and perhaps questionable assets, Lord Timothy was also known for his kind heart. He found stray cats all around federalist Newburyport, Massachusetts, and sent them all off to the Caribbean as part of a grand mission he had set out for himself - garnering quite a stir in the process! He even published a novel featuring his own semiliterate and grammatically lacking stories. His book's surprising popularity earned it eight re-prints and helped make Lord Timothy an unforgettable American folk hero of sorts, with all his eccentric behavior and surprisingly successful ventures reminding us to never underestimate true audacity and ambition. Immerse yourself in the incredible story of Lord Timothy Dexter and his brilliant rise to success! Uncover how he found the prestigious title of "Lord" within a short span. This book also includes an exciting bonus book he wrote - "A Pickle for The Knowing Ones", so you can completely immerse yourself into his extraordinary world. So don't wait any longer - turn those pages now as you have found the best book written on Lord Timothy Dexter available!

Book Description
Lord Timothy Dexter was, by most accounts, a living embodiment of irony. Time and time again he beat insurmountable odds (often, it seems, without realizing they existed) and came out on top (and flush with cash). A farm laborer, with little schooling to speak of, Dexter catapulted himself into the 'Who's Who' of 18th Century New England society through numerous trading endeavors of all sorts. But for all of his quirks, he also seems to have been something of a cruel prankster. Many of the events of his later life would make most men of honor blush with shame. Doubly so when one reviews the treatment his wife endured. This work was originally published as an exercise in vanity. It became inexplicably popular, however, after Dexter freely handed out the first printing. In the second, he addressed the criticisms of 'lack of punctuation' by ending the work with an entire page devoted solely to it, which he suggested the reader insert anywhere they like within the work. The strange book went on to be formally reprinted eight times. This book is - and has remained - one of the oddest, most bizarre publications ever brought to public light. It's difficult to enjoy yet, strangely, it is equally difficult to dismiss.

Book Description
A history of heartbreak-replete with beheadings, uprisings, creepy sex dolls, and celebrity gossip-and its disastrously bad consequences throughout time Spanning eras and cultures from ancient Rome to medieval England to 1950s Hollywood, Jennifer Wright's It Ended Badly guides you through the worst of the worst in historically bad breakups. In the throes of heartbreak, Emperor Nero had just about everyone he ever loved-from his old tutor to most of his friends-put to death. Oscar Wilde's lover, whom he went to jail for, abandoned him when faced with being cut off financially from his wealthy family and wrote several self-serving books denying the entire affair. And poor volatile Caroline Lamb sent Lord Byron one hell of a torch letter and enclosed a bloody lock of her own pubic hair. Your obsessive social media stalking of your ex isn't looking so bad now, is it? With a wry wit and considerable empathy, Wright digs deep into the archives to bring these thirteen terrible breakups to life. She educates, entertains, and really puts your own bad breakup conduct into perspective. It Ended Badly is for anyone who's ever loved and lost and maybe sent one too many ill-considered late-night emails to their ex, reminding us that no matter how badly we've behaved, no one is as bad as Henry VIII.
