It is your worst nightmare. You wake up in an 8' x 6' concrete and steel cell designated "Suicide Watch #3." The cell is real. Jimmy Lerner, formerly a suburban husband and father, and corporate strategic planner and survivor, is about to become a prison "fish," or green new arrival.
A memoir of astonishing power-the true story of a middle-class, middle-aged man who fell into the Inferno of the American prison system, and what he has to do to survive. It is your worst nightmare. You wake up in an 8' x 6' concrete-and-steel cell designated "Suicide Watch #3." The cell is real. Jimmy Lerner, formerly a suburban husband and father, and corporate strategic planner and survivor, is about to become a prison "fish," or green new arrival. Taken to a penitentiary in the Nevada desert to begin serving a twelve-year term for voluntary manslaughter, this once nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn ends up sharing a claustrophobic cell with Kansas, a hugely muscled skinhead with a swastika engraved on his neck and a serious set of issues. And if he dares complain, the guards will bluntly tell him, "You got nothing coming." Bringing us into a world of petty corruption, racial strife, and crank-addicted neo-Nazis, Jimmy Lerner gives us a fish's progress: a brash, compelling, and darkly comic story peopled with characters who are at various times funny, violent, and surprisingly tender. His rendering of prison language is mesmerizingly vivid and exact, and his search for a way not simply to survive but to craft a new way to live, in the most unpropitious of circumstances, is a tale filled with resilience, dignity, and a profound sense of the absurd. In the book's climax, we learn just what demonic set of circumstances-a compound of bad luck and worse judgment-led him to the lethal act of self-defense that landed him in a circle of an American hell. Electrifying, unforgettable, bracingly cynical, and perceptive, You Got Nothing Coming is impossible to put down or shake off. What the cult favorite Oz is to television, this book is to prose-and all of the events are real. From the Hardcover edition.Binding Type: Paperback

Exactly As Advertised
Size: 500 Sheets (20lb)
What can you say about printer paper? It needs to be the right size, the right weight, the right color. This fits all those requirements perfectly. I only take away one star because it is so Basic, just like the title says: it is printer/typing paper and it does a great job of that. It does not cost an arm and a leg, like some paper does. I have run half a ream through my printer so far and no jams or misfeeds.

Nice paper, badly packed for delivery
Size: 800 Sheets (24lb), Size: 800 Sheets (24lb)
The paper is good, the price is decent, but they threw this oversize "ream" in a box and let it bounce around. The box was about an inch or two larger in all three dimensions than the paper, and they didn't put any packing paper in the box to hold it in place. The paper itself arrived mostly undamaged but the wrapper was destroyed. Since most of the paper was OK, I didn't want to make an issue out of it with Amazon and send it back, and risk having another "ream" arrive in even worse condition.

Very Good Paper for Everyday Personal and Business Use
Size: 1500 Sheets (24lb)
I have purchased these 3 packs of this 24lb letter-sized paper several times. It is just fine for everyday usage and I have no problem with it in my Canon B&W and Color laser printers. Print quality is good and sharp. This is much better than the fairly flimsy 20lb and is very suitable for ordinary business usage. It also works quite well for two-sided printing as the back side does not show through. But it is not 28lb+ manuscript quality and should not be expected to be.

My Go-To Sublimation Paper — Flawless Results Every Time
Size: 8.5"x11", Size: 8.5"x11"
This is hands down the best sublimation paper I’ve used and the only one I continue to buy. I get a perfect transfer every single time—no fracturing, no fading, and no uneven results. The paper dries fast, which makes my workflow so much smoother, especially when I’m producing items in batches.
I use this regularly to make air fresheners and tote bags for my small business, and the color payoff is always vibrant and crisp. The transfer rate is excellent, and it works beautifully on light-colored, high-quality polyester and other sublimation-ready surfaces.
If you’re a small business owner or crafter who values consistency, quality, and ease of use, this paper is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it and will continue to repurchase.
