Mark Twain Made Me Do It and Other Plains Adventures is a collection of humorous essays portraying western Nebraska life and culture of the 1950s. Anecdotes on small-town baseball and the polio epidemic of 1952 provide a historic backdrop to the story of a wide-eyed boy exploring the limits of his universe. The adventures of a Twain-inspired raft trip down the South Platte and Sputnik-inspired homemade rockets mirror a society of seemingly settled lifestyles and frenzied technological advances. Family travels, holidays with Grandpa and Grandma, and marvelous creations like his sister's stories of Susabelle and the magic Band-Aids weave a splendid tale. But Jones's world is not one of sentimental nostalgia; running battles with town bullies, sobering encounters with religious buffoons, and an impressive collection of pedagogues specializing in violent corporal punishment capture the earthy essence of a world now largely disappeared.Binding Type: Paperback

Attractive and Functional
Color: Walnut
I bought this to prop up my MacBook Pro M2 to save space on my desk while I am using a dock. The base is nicely adjustable, and holds the laptop securely. Sturdy metal base and attractive wood side pieces. My MacBook has never felt like it might tip, and I have a cat who squeezes past it to reach my office window multiple times per day. If you like the look, I'd highly recommend it for functionality.

Good item
Color: Black, Size: 48"W x 12"D, 1 Pack
Heavy-duty and looks clean once mounted. Plenty of space for storage or display. Installation was straightforward and it holds weight well.

Great quality for the price point
Color: Walnut, Size: 48"W x 12"D, 1 Pack
Great quality for the price. Not sure why they include drywall anchors? You need to put the holding bracket into the studs. Otherwise, it will feel wobbly.

Metal bracket is cheap and bends easily
Color: White, Size: 36"W x 12"D, 1 Pack
Worst shelf I have ever purchased. Waisted my money, do not waist yours. Installed with the anchors the shelf came with and it did not hold the shelf at all. This happened with nothing on the shelf, just trying to install with the directions given. The entire metal bracket bent and now the shelf is completely useless. IKEA would have been a better option. So disappointing
