CRAVEN, author of the award-winning The Puppet Show''Local journalism has never seemed more exotic than in this part-memoir, part-ode to that disappearing art, which is as funny as it is endearing . . .

By far my favourite read of the year so far''MIKE WARD, TV critic, Daily Express/Daily Star''Local publishers . . . need to hold on to thoughtful, dedicated writers such as Roger Lytollis, or his book will be an epitaph to a centuries-old industry''IAN BURRELL, i paper''Anyone who has ever worked at a local newspaper, or wondered what it is like, should read this book.
