Synopsis

Often amusing, laugh out loud funny in parts, sometimes thought-provoking, and occasionally tear jerking, “Can You Come Back Next Week?” is an account of one young collector/salesman’s exploits and adventures selling goods on credit door to door in the poorer areas of Glasgow in the 50s and 60s. If you lived through those times, you will find memories galore in these words, and for those who did not, it proves an evocative glimpse into a time past, where a radiogram which loaded ten records at once was the height of luxury, to be paid for scrupulously week on week, even though your kids ran around in vests and bare bums. Set upon by a sword-wielding maniac, dangled from a twenty-first storey balcony, and being offered it “on a plate” in lieu of payment – life in the Credit Trade was certainly never dull!

About this title

About the Author

Samuel, or Sam as he is known to his friends and family was born in 1932 and lived in Dennistoun, Glasgow. He has been married to Joan for over 50 years and has 5 children, 10 grand children and 4 great grand children. His book was written in the late 1970's but it is only with the recent advent of ebooks that he has been able to realise his dream of sharing this work with the rest of the world.

His book "Can you come back next week?" was the first to be published online and this has been followed up with "I got Some in" and a more recent addition "Play Days, Childhood, and other Things".
