Well that's just great....
There goes the title for my autobiography.
Not to mention 004's "How to" manual.

This books sounds good. Amis was more of a drinker than Fleming I'd say.

I would describe the cover as a bit bland with an after-taste of peat.

It is a bit odd.

Of course you will - it is a book by a man who authored a Bond novel and a Bond disertation after all!

Got a hangover? Search Google, and you'll find a thousand home remedies, from mild palliatives (buttermilk, honey, bananas) to shock therapy (pickle juice, kudzu extract, raw cabbage). If you can drag yourself into Walgreens or Rite Aid, there's usually a potion or two that promises relief.
The problem with these cures, the British novelist Kingsley Amis (1922-95) wrote in his now-classic 1972 book 'On Drink,'
