Paperback. Condition: Used. Ah, 1974?a year when flared trousers and questionable hairstyles reigned supreme, and Hodder & Stoughton Ltd boldly published a literary masterpiece (or perhaps a curious misfire) titled "Would You Believe it?" This book is co-authored by a veritable cadre of literary mercenaries?Dick Girling, Derek Davies, Rick Sanders, and Deidre Sanders?who clearly had a fondness for collaboration, or perhaps were just caught in an unfortunate binding accident. Upon first glance, one is irresistibly drawn to the title, which seems to ask a question while simultaneously raising an eyebrow. What exactly would one be expected to believe? That four distinct authors could produce an unblemished narrative without stepping on each other?s toes? That the book might contain the secrets of the universe?or, more likely, a few ramblings about the complexities of everyday life, all wrapped up in delightful absurdity? The possibilities are as endless as the lengths to which the authors might go to convince you of their sanity. Within the pages, readers might stumble upon an eclectic collection of anecdotes, observations, and perhaps even the occasional existential crisis (because what?s the 1970s without a little bit of soul-searching?). The prose dances erratically, sometimes resembling the undulating movement of a particularly enthusiastic disco dancer?at other times, it might feel like a discussion in the corner of a dimly lit pub after three pints too many. The charm of this book lies in its unpredictability, akin to a surprise party where half the guests forgot the date. What could one expect from such a peculiar quartet of authors? It?s rumoured that they each took turns writing chapters, not unlike a literary game of Hot Potato. From Dick?s dry wit to Deidre?s heart-on-sleeve musings, you may find yourself surprised at the stylistic whiplash that comes from shifting between four dramatically different voices. Each chapter has the potential to contain insightful commentary on the human condition or, conversely, a lengthy discourse on the merits of custard vs. cream as dessert toppings. The book?s cover is a relic of its time, featuring bold typography and a slightly psychedelic colour scheme reminiscent of a 1970s wallpaper disaster. One must wonder if the design team was attempting to capture the essence of the then-burgeoning counterculture or merely indulging in a fondness for vibrant colours that leave one questioning their life choices. Either way, it sets the stage for an adventure that teeters on the precipice of brilliance and bewilderment. As for the plot?or lack thereof?one can only speculate. Perhaps it?s a meditation on the absurdities of modern life, framed by the myriad of human experiences that bind us all together in a shared sense of bewilderment. Or it could simply be a series of baffling musings that make you question not only the text before you but the very fabric of reality itself. Could it be a foreshadowing of the impending chaos of the next decade? Or perhaps just a good excuse to escape into a world where anything goes? Condition: This tome is used, which means it carries the delightful patina of age?dog-eared pages, the occasional coffee stain (or perhaps something more mysterious), and the faint scent of nostalgia. Each crease tells a story, perhaps of an enthusiastic reader who once clutched it tightly while pondering the meaning of life at a bus stop, or someone who just wanted to impress a date while appearing cultured. It?s a little worse for wear, but then, aren?t we all? So, if you fancy a literary experience where the boundaries of sanity blur and the absurd reigns supreme, "Would You Believe it?" might just be the perfect addition to your collection. A book that dares you to question everything while simultaneously laughing in the face of reason?what more could you ask for? Grab your copy from Crappy Old Books today, and prepare to be delighted, confused, and perhaps even a bit charmed by the chaos of four creati.…

Paperback. Condition: Used. In a world where the absurd reigns supreme, ?Would You Believe It?? by the illustrious collective known as Dick Girling, Derek Davies, and the enigmatic Rick and Deidre Sanders presents a literary conundrum that teeters precariously between brilliance and bafflement. Published in 1974 by Coronet, this tome offers not just stories, but a veritable buffet of the unbelievable, a smorgasbord of scenarios that challenge the very fabric of credibility while simultaneously inviting readers to question their own sanity. Ideal for those who find themselves musing in coffee shops, pondering the nature of reality or perhaps just trying to avoid eye contact with their fellow patrons. The cover art alone, a kaleidoscopic explosion of the 1970s aesthetic, may provoke a sense of déjà vu or, alternatively, a desire to locate the nearest eye bleach. An eclectic assembly of talent, each author?s unique prose style threatens to create an existential tug-of-war within the pages. One can only speculate if this was a planned collaboration or a raucous game of literary chicken gone awry, but one thing is certain: the synergy (or perhaps chaos) of this literary ensemble is something to behold. What can you expect inside this eccentric anthology? A delightful mishmash of tales that are likely to leave you questioning everything from your own life choices to the very nature of storytelling itself. It?s as if the authors gathered in a smoky pub, each tossing back pints and tossing around ideas, ultimately deciding that the more outrageous the better. So, whether you?re in the mood for a tale of a time-traveling postman or a philosophical debate between two cheese enthusiasts, this book promises to deliver it all with a wink and a nod. As you navigate through the pages, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of absurdity that will have you nodding in disbelief. Will you laugh, cry, or simply stare blankly at the wall while contemplating your existence? The answer lies within, as every page brims with possibilities. Each story is presented with a cheeky irreverence that begs the question: would you believe it? And if you do, what does that say about you? The authors, perhaps in a rare moment of self-reflection, have also included a helpful guide to navigating the ?unbelievable? within these pages. Expect to encounter gems of wisdom such as: The art of dramatic pauses, best executed in a crowded room. The unwritten rules of intergalactic etiquette, especially during tea time. How to convince your friends that your pet goldfish is actually an alien spy. The importance of wearing mismatched socks for enhanced storytelling capabilities. The secret life of inanimate objects and how they communicate. Condition: This book has lived a full life, having been well-loved (or perhaps well-tortured) by its previous owners. The spine exhibits signs of wear that suggest it has borne the weight of many a heartfelt discussion on whether or not penguins can fly. Expect the occasional smudge of a hasty snack; crumbs of wisdom, perhaps? While the pages may be yellowing at the edges, they retain a certain charm reminiscent of vintage postcards from a time long past. If you enjoy the smell of nostalgia mingled with a hint of stale coffee, then this is the book for you. In conclusion, ?Would You Believe It?? is more than just a book; it?s a conversation starter, a thought provoker, and possibly a key to understanding the mysteries of the universe?or at least a good excuse for avoiding social obligations. Perfect for a rainy day or as a gift for that friend who insists on being ?quirky? in every aspect of their life. Available now at Crappy Old Books, where literary treasures are waiting to be discovered, albeit with a certain charm that only time can bestow. …
