Jimmy Buffett Books Overview
Where Is Joe Merchant?
Where Is Joe Merchant?? That’s what his sister, Trevor Kane, the hemorrhoid ointment heiress, wants to know. For Desdemona, Merchant is the missing link in her ongoing communications with space aliens. Tabloid journalist Rudy Breno only cares that Merchant gets bigger headlines than Elvis. And for renegade seaplane pilot Frank Bama, the mystery of the presumed dead but often sighted rock star is turning his life upside down. In his debut novel, Jimmy Buffett cooks up an irresistible gumbo of dreamers, wackos, pirates, and sharks, as he leads Trevor and Frank on a wild chase through the Caribbean Islands to a place where anything can happen…
and everything does.
A Salty Piece Of Land
If Tully Mars had known what he was getting himself into when he agreed to help find the lost lens belonging to the lighthouse on Cayo Loco well, he might never have agreed to help in the first place. Then again, maybe he simply would have taken a slightly longer nap before setting off on his wild adventure. And it isn’t just Tully whom Buffett fans will remember well from Jimmy’s bestselling Tales from Margaritaville on the madcap quest. There’s Ix Nay, an Indian shaman with a dislike of the media; Mr. Twain, Tully’s loyal steed; Cleopatra Highbourne, the 102 year old owner of Cayo Loco and Cuban baseball addict; Captain Kirk, fishing trip leader and boatman extraordinaire; former country music star Sean Spurl, aka Tex Sex; Bucky Norman, a Wyoming cowboy who has found his way to the ocean; and even a fellow named Jimmy Buffett, who decides he might as well join in on the party. Raucous, wise, and familiar with the world’s wonderful strangeness, A Salty Piece Of Land is the perfect summertime confection.
Swine Not?
For Alex James, music had always been a door to a more exciting life a way to travel, meet new people, and, hopefully, pick up girls. But as bass player of Blur one of the most successful British bands of all time his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted. Success catapulted him from a slug infested squat in Camberwell to a world of private jets and world class restaurants. As ‘the second drunkest member of the world’s drunkest band’ Alex James’s life was always chaotic, but he retained a boundless enthusiasm and curiosity at odds with his hedonistic lifestyle. From nights in the Groucho with Damien Hirst, to dancing to Sister Sledge with Bj rk, to being bitten on the nose by the lead singer of Iron Maiden, he offers a fascinating and hilarious insight into the world of celebrity. At its heart, however, this is the picaresque tale of one man s search to find meaning and happiness in an increasingly surreal world. Pleasingly unrepentant but nonetheless a reformed man, Alex James is the perfect chronicler of his generation witty, frank and brim*ming with joie de vivre. A Bit of a Blur is as charming, funny, and deliciously disreputable as its author.
Tales from Margaritaville
Margaritaville may not appear on a map, but it does exist at least in the brilliantly creative, sometimes slightly skewed imagination of Jimmy Buffett. Tales from Margaritaville is a collection of short stories some purely fiction, some based in truth so vividly packed with restless dreamers, wild wanderers, and pure gypsy souls that just reading it is a wild adventure. Travel along with a cowboy named Tully Mars, as he heads from Heartache, Wyoming, to Graceland, and relive the autobiographical odyssey of a third generation sailor and first rate musical outlaw. With unforgettable stories that present the true roamer’s twin loves the sea and the road Tales from Margaritaville is one ‘smooth sailing book of infinite imagination’ Chicago Sun Times.
The Jolly Mon
On a remote island called Bananaland, The Jolly Mon uses his beautiful voice and an enchanted guitar to lure fish from the ocean and bring happiness to all. But these gifts can’t save him from treacherous pirates. For that, he will need the help of a very special dolphin.A perfect gift for Jimmy Buffett fans young and old, this beloved tale is now packaged as a hardcover book with a reading by Jimmy Buffett accompanied by an original musical score performed by his lead musicians.
Trouble Dolls
When Lizzy Rhinehart’s father is lost in the Florida Everglades, she calls on the help of her golden retriever, tiny Guatemalan Trouble Dolls, and a magic blue macaw to save him before a ferocious storm begins. ‘A welcome blend of myth and reality, set in modern times but connected by folklore to the world of animals and magic.’ Publishers Weekly

Jimmy takes us from the legendary pirate coves of the Florida Keys to the ruins of ancient Cartegena. Along the way, we hear a tale or two of how he got his start in New Orleans, how he discovered his passion for flying planes, and how he almost died in a watery crash in Nantucket harbor. We follow Jimmy to jungle outposts in Costa Rica and on a meandering trip down the Amazon, through hair raising negotiations with gun toting customs officials and a 3 year old aspiring co pilot. And he is the inimitable Jimmy Buffett through it all. For Parrotheads, for armchair adventurers, and for anyone who appreciates a good yarn and a hearty laugh, here is the ultimate backstage pass you’ll read the kind of stories Jimmy usually reserves for his closest friends and you’ll see a wonderful, wacky life through eyes of the man who’s lived it.
