BANVARD'S FOLLY by Paul Collins
Thirteen fascinating and hilarious portraits of history's losers.
'Failure is generally a lot more interesting than success.. this book was only a modest success in America; it deserves to be a huge one here, since we have a better natural empathy with the sweet misery of not being quite good enough at things. Failure's coming home; we should all support it by buying Paul Collins' wonderful book' Mail on Sunday
