Human or otherwise, regardless of race, creed or dimension of origin, if you're looking for a good time in a place where the beer is always flowing, and the stories always out of this world, step up to the bar at Callahan's. There'll be tales--Oh, are there tales! Like the one about a loud-mouthed time traveler who capitalized on a rip in the space-time continuum; or the one about Ralph the talking, gin-drinking German Shepherd created by a demented genius shrink. But don't believe us. Ask Ralph. He'll tell you himself. Also don't forget to watch out for the deadly toasts--especially the Melba toast! And above all, remember...Time Travelers Strictly Cash.

Praise for Time Travellers Strictly Cash

"Tall tales...fine and funny...A significant achievement!" --Houston Post

"If one were given the task of creating Spider Robinson from scratch, the best way to do it would be to snatch James Joyce from history, force-feed him Marx Brothers films and good jazz for the better part of a decade, then turn him loose on a world badly in need of a look at itself." --Vancouver Sun

This book is one of the funniest books I have ever read. I first read this book in college and I laughed all the way through it. I read it again years later and still laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I guess not everyone gets it, but I think it's hilarious. Even today, my friends and I st ...more

More Callahan, please. I can't get enough. The stories are fun and the commentary is hilarious. I would love to hear Spider Robinson speak in person some day, though I doubt that will happen. This collection is a joy. Robinson writes short stories that are just packed with fun and interesting d ...more

Great book! This is the 2nd collection of very original short stories with quirky themes that all happen in Callahan's Saloon - an amazing place where fellow patrons are empathetic, compassionate, and accepting of everyone - including talking dogs and aliens. I liked these stories because most of t ...more

About the Author

Spdier Robinson

Spider Robinson, winner of three Hugos and a Nebula, was born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island, and has been a Canadian resident for 30 years. Holder of a bachelor's degree in English from the State University of New York, he worked as a folksinger and journalist before publishing his first story in Analog in 1973. He now lives with his wife Jeanne Robinson (co-author of the Hugo- and Nebula-winning Stardance trilogy) on an island outside Vancouver, B.C., where they raise and exhibit hopes.

Eleven of his 31 books are set in Callahan's Place, a fabulous tavern founded by a time traveler, where puns flow as freely as beer, and smell far worse. The most recent is Callahan's Con [Tor July 2003]. He has contributed a regular editorial column, "Future Tense," to Canada's national newspaper, The Globe & Mail, since 1995. In 2000, he released Belaboring the Obvious, a CD of original music with the legendary Amos Garrett ("Midnight at the Oasis") on lead guitar, and in 2001 he was a celebrity judge at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
