Turner, Philip B. (inscribed by author), — First John.

Bar Harbor, Maine, Acadia Publishing Company, (1991). VG PB. The only book to be banned by a Bishop! Turner was born on a dairy and potato farm in Mapleton, Maine in the early 1920s. After high school he left for the University of Maine because he could no longer stand the cows!. He wrote First John when he discovered the unusual life of John Arnold. Jack Barnes, writing for the Maine Sunday Telegram says he didn't have to read too far before coming to the conclusion that this native-born son of Aroostock writes with as much humor and wit as John Gould and Sandy Phippen. I sat down thinking I would read a few pages I set Turner's book down just long enough to toss some wood into the furnace. Indicates John Arnold's passionae desire to be the most important citizen in his community of Caribou at the top of the political and economic strata. The king is on the very peak and others try to knock him off. Insccribed by author on fep" To Jack Barnes from Phil Turner Oct 10, '91 Best Wishes" Jack Barnes was a Hiram, ME author.
