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?

If you haven't much to do, and don't care whether you do or don't, you may have noticed the conspicuous absence of a preface.

Queer, isn't it, that so many folks knock the "know" out of what they know by discounting what they have to say before they say it?
Take them as they run.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This engaging book is the result of a challenge: to apply common business sense to marketing a manuscript. The author's fresh approach defies convention and literary norms, encouraging writers to embrace the power of self-promotion. The book's provocative insights reveal the humorous side of the literary world, highlighting the foibles and eccentricities of its inhabitants. The author's unique perspective stems from his outsider status. He lacks formal literary training but brings a keen eye and sharp wit to his observations. This outsider's view allows him to identify and skewer the pretensions and inanities prevalent in the literary establishment. Through sharp-tongued humor and incisive social commentary, this book invites readers to question traditional publishing practices and explore alternative paths to literary success. The author's unconventional approach and witty prose make this book an entertaining and thought-provoking read for aspiring writers and seasoned authors alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330354414_0
