Synopsis
John Kennedy Toole wrote The Neon Bible for a literary contest at the age of sixteen, but it was not published until 1989, thirty-five years after it was written and twenty years after Toole's suicide. The Neon Bible tells the story of David, who is a young boy growing up in a small Southern town in the 1940s.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
