'"Worse still, you might set an example. You might inspire other writers to produce finer books and aspire to the Orm - to write less but better. (...) What counts is the paper we sell, not the words that are printed on it."'

A really surprisingly entertaining, fun, inventive, weirdly mature read. The illustrations are an incredible touch. Sometimes it dragged a little, and it is 450 pages, but it was still a blast of unspoken creativity.
