Red cloth binding with white printed spine label, clean and unworn. 96 pp.; Author's gift inscription to front end-paper and slipped in accompanying letter on letterhead notepaper signed with his real name, otherwise near pristine bar faint hint of edge-tanning throughout and touch of dustiness in places to top edge; unclipped jacket in acetate protective sleeve as acquired has patches of dustiness and edge-browning to back, a few minor nicks and small chip to top front outer corner. A curious and amusing protest by an eminent vintner and wine-merchant against the B.B.C. being dominated by teetotalers who refuse to let alcoholic drinks to be advertised in the Radio Times despite 'accepting 'beauty tricks' and 'quack medicines'. The opening section transcribes his correspondence exchange with them regarding this censorship and the remainder the details of his continuing struggle. He makes an unanswerable case in my view. 13 cm x 19 cm.
