Item description from seller

Private Eye On London (1962) ? Private Eye Published by Private Eye. Peddled proudly by Crappy Old Books. Step into swinging ?60s London with this gloriously irreverent relic from the Private Eye gang ? Private Eye On London . Part satirical guidebook, part social takedown, it skewers the capital?s posh clubs, pompous people, and political pretensions with razor-sharp wit and a pint of sarcasm. Originally published in 1962, this is satire at its most savage, offering a time capsule of the Eye?s early days before the lawyers started paying attention. Expect dated references, gratuitous mockery, and a tone that suggests the authors were enjoying themselves far too much. Our copy? Probably yellowing, possibly annotated, definitely dog-eared ? just the way we like it. Crappy Old Books ? Rescuing bad behaviour from the recycling bin since forever. Private Eye started in 1961, so this is right off the bat from their earlier days. Hardback.
