Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor foxing top edge, minor edgewear. 183 pp. Dr Shrapnel, the pseudonymous critic, satirises a variety of subjects in and out of academe.

Dr Shrapnel is the pen-name of Richard McKee, and American academic and teacher of writing and art design.
