The Crack by Michael Munro

Humour is one of the cornerstones of Glasgow life. A look at the history of popular entertainment in the city shows that Glasgow has always enjoyed a good laugh, and the home-grown variety best of all. In this new and expanded edition of his best-selling book, Michael Munro has produced a hilarious compendium of the wit and wisdom of Glasgow. While many of the jokes and stories are 'classics' that continue to amuse today, either in their original form or updated to reflect contemporary tastes and preoccupations, The Crack also includes a huge amount of material that will be new to many. No subject, sacred or profane, is safe from scrutiny and the Glasgow tongue respects no bounds of taste.

Michael Munro has lived in Glasgow all his life and is the leading authority on the city's unique and expressive dialect. The Complete Patter, first published in 1986, has become a cult classic and achieved best-seller status. He has worked as a lexicographer with Collins and is now a freelance writer, editor and lexicographer.
