The Worst Years of Our Lives : Irrelevant Notes from a Decade of Greed

276pp. Black cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Lightly bumped spine ends. Text block edge starting gto fox. Pages beginning to tan. Internally neat, clean and tight. Dust jacket has some shelf wear, light chipping to edges, price unclipped. 8vo. Scandalously funny and sharp, these essays are also furiously indignant. They may offend the American rich, privileged and otherwise guilty, but for everyone else, including the British reader, this book should be an upbeat, affirming experience.
