Perfect for the Bill Murray fan in all of us, this epic collection of "Bill Murray stories"--many reported for the first time here--distills a set of guiding principles out of his extraordinary ability to infuse the everyday with surprise, absurdity, and wonder.

No one will ever believe you.

New York Times bestselling author Gavin Edwards, like the rest of us, has always been fascinated with Bill Murray--in particular the beloved actor's adventures off-screen, which rival his filmography for sheer entertainment value. Edwards traveled to the places where Murray has lived, worked, and partied, in search of the most outrageous and hilarious Bill Murray stories from the past four decades, many of which have never before been reported. Bill once paid a child five dollars to ride his bike into a swimming pool. The star convinced Harvard's JV women's basketball team to play with him in a private game of hoops. Many of these surreal encounters ended with Bill whispering, "No one will ever believe you" into a stranger's ear. But The Tao of Bill Murray is more than just a collection of wacky anecdotes. A sideways mix of comedy and philosophy, full of photo bombs, late-night party crashes, and movie-set antics, this is the perfect book for anyone who calls themselves a Bill Murray fan--which is to say, everyone.

Praise for The Tao of Bill Murray

"When confronted by life's challenges and opportunities, we should all be asking ourselves, 'What would Bill Murray do?' This book actually has the answers."--Jay Duplass, writer, director, actor, fan of Bill Murray

" Gavin Edwards] captures Murray's enigmatic, comic genius."--The Washington Post

"Rib-tickling."--Newsday

"If you are among the multitudes who have a Bill Murray story (viz: 'I was in the airport bar, and who sat down next to me but Bill Murray?'), The Tao of Bill Murray will speak to you."--Elle

"Murray is an endless delight, and his knack for bons mots and non sequiturs will keep readers laughing before revealing an unexpectedly poignant vision for happiness. . . . A fun and revealing look behind the charm and mythos of Bill Murray that will only strengthen his legend."--Kirkus Reviews

"This book is bursting with anecdotes that underline Murray's unconventional and fun-loving life. . . . Murray's fans are sure to savor it] and walk away with a deeper appreciation of the actor and his work."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"I just can't fathom how anyone could not like the man. He lives as much as possible by his own rules; this is a guy who doesn't buy round-trip airline tickets because he prefers to make decisions on the fly. That old question of the three people you'd most like to have dinner with? I'd pick Bill Murray and leave the other two chairs empty just to see who he pulls over to join us. . . . You will love The Tao of Bill Murray. Period."--GeekDad

"A hilarious read--occasionally heartwarming, sometimes head-scratching. . . . Sure to please Murray fans."--Library Journal

Denim like fabric with some padding
Size: 14 inch, Color: Bright Rose
Adequate for the job. I wanted something bright colored and padded to hold my laptop safely in my carryon.

Sleek, Durable Laptop Sleeve That Punches Above Its Price
Size: 13.3 inch, Color: Red
Right out of the box the sleeve felt premium—sleek exterior, soft interior lining, smooth zipper—and it’s held up flawlessly through daily use with no pilling or wear. My 13‑inch MacBook slides in snugly without adding bulk, and the padding gave me real confidence after I accidentally knocked the bag off a chair and the laptop came out unscathed. The front pocket fits my charger, hub, and other small accessories neatly, making it practical for coffee‑shop days, though I do wish it had a grab handle, but it is ok. For the price, this sleeve delivers excellent protection and finish that rivals much more expensive options.

Triple Check Your Measurements. No Margin For Error.
Size: 15 inch, Color: Space Gray
Exterior is exactly 15" wide making for a snug fit of my 14 1/8" laptop. This snug fit was what I was looking for. Any tighter and it wouldn't fit at all. The material is of good quality and the lining is soft. The padding is minimal but should be adequate for everyday use. First impressions are this is a very good quality sleeve. Time will tell.

13.3-inch bag is too big for a 13-inch Surface Pro 11
Size: 13.3 inch, Color: Gray
The bag is very good, but I am returning the 13.3-inch size bag, as it is too big for a Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (13-inch screen). I should have done a bit more digging through the description to realize the size. It would have been better if the pictures showed actual inner dimensions. I have just ordered a 12.3-inch bag. The smaller bag should be adequate. EDIT: The 12.3 inch bag came in. This bag is perfect for Surface Pro. Great fit! The front pocket holds the power brick and a small mouse, and a bit more space for flash drive or similar.

Nice color and good quality
Size: 14 inch, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14 inch, Color: Navy Blue
I had originally bought this for my work laptop (MacBook) and it fit perfectly. But now I use it for my personal which is a 13.3in MacBook Air. I like the feeling of the case. I have a crack on my screen and I feel like this case offers more cushion than my previous one. I wouldn’t say this would save my laptop from a fall but I feel more confident as it’s in my bag that it’s getting enough protection. I also like the color and it’s spacious enough to hold a laptop charger, note pad, pens, etc.
