Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Knockers Club
What's the use of it? If there's anything in this book, - anything worth reading or skipping, - you'll find it, or pass it, without an introduction.
I don't propose to show my full hand by starting in to describe my goods before you see them. Nor shall I begin with an apologetic foreword. That sort of thing has become conventionally chronic.
Why not for once have a book without a shame felt preface to it?
