LIMEY By James Spenser
Those who fee; pessimistic about the health of the British publishing industry will find a text for their contentions in this wholly unnecessary volume (Limey. Longmans, 10s. 6d.), in which the alarums and excursions of a criminal career are pre- sented in colours which are more calculated to attract than to repel. The author, after an early apprenticeship to crime and imprisonment in this country, continued his career as a member of a gang in the United States, from which, after a further period of imprisonment, he was deported last year. The account of his activities in America is no more and no less a valid comment on the existing social order of that country than is the fact that it should find a publisher (and possibly pur- chasers) in this a comment on our own.
