David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best.Binding Type: Hardcover

It's just perfect!!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I looked at all of the different watch box cases and I am so glad that I chose this one! It is well made and looks more expensive than it was. I love that I can see everything at once instead of having to open drawers to only glimpse at some of my stash. I bought this for my 20 watches and even though I can't fit my small wrist watches on the pillow because this is made for a man's watch, it really doesn't bother me. It's easier to take out a watch or put it back. It really freed up a ton of space in my jewelry cabinet for my jewelry! Love it!!!

Good case
Color: Black
Great watch case. Fits all my 43mm-48mm watches. Any bigger they will run against each other. But altogether a solid purchase.

Men’s Watch Box w/24 Slot Display
Color: AllBlack, Color: AllBlack
This mens watch box looks amazing, and nicely fits 24 watches without worrying about damage to the other watches. Each slot has its own location, and not need to worry about the watches rubbing up against each other.

Nice case
Color: Dark Brown, Color: Dark Brown
Very nice case. Good presentation. Only issue is if watch is over 52mm they can make it a tight fit.

Nice Case with clear top for 24 Watches
Color: Black
This is my second watch case and I am very happy with it. I like the glass so you can view the watches from the top. This one has a flip up latch which I also like because you can reach down and open the case with one hand. The pillows are a good size, not too big so they do not stretch out your watch bands. I specifically wanted a case to hold as many watches as possible and 24 is about the biggest I could find in this configuration, meaning a box and not some kind of cabinet which I do not have room for
