To some, the art of nosepicking is a revolting habit abandoned, hopefully, in childhood, but to aficionados of this dexterous and time-honoured practice it is a pastime to be savoured. Professor Roland Flicket is the world's leading authority on the venerable bogey, and with this handy guide, he strikes a blow for nasal foragers everywhere.
