In all, this is a beautiful example of this collection of stories by Alisdair Gray. Gray serves up a dazzling mixture of social realism, sexual comedy, science fiction and satire. This is a highly entertaining collection of stories from "one of the sprightliest and wittiest of living prose writers" (San Francisco Chronicle). This is a lovely, highly collectible example of this first edition by cult-ish Scottish author of 'Lanark'.
