The Reprint Society Canada, 1952. " It is really a story of bad types - a bad type of newspaper proprietor and a bad type of editor, told by a type of columnist who is certainly not squeamish. There is a sound plot that sustains interest to the very end. One can say frankly that there are no dull periods in a book with a grim subject, but salted with plenty of strong, masculine humour." -Yorkshire Evening Post critic. Teal coloured boards, attractive spine label with gilt lettering. No ownership markings in this book! Illustrated dust jacket.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
