Forgive Us Our Press Passes by Ian Skidmore
Journalist, broadcaster and author IAN SKIDMORE collects rare books and fine wines by choice and unlikely anecdotes and engaging eccentrics almost by accident. His first, hilarious, account of such encounters was celebrated a quarter of a century ago in the first edition of this book. The Liverpool Daily Post said its publication identified him as 'the successor to Tom Sharpe' and actor Ian Carmichael described it as 'a comic masterpiece'. Wales on Sunday said it would be a 'hard act to follow'. It was chosen as BC Book of the Year, had the highest listening figures on Radio Four, and was read twice on the BC Overseas Service. The Daily Post described Ian Skidmore as Wales' funniest columnist, the Western Mail as 'a great eccentric'. Now, revisited, revised, and expanded to more than twice its original length it is being published in this special edition.
Ian Skidmore is a former Fleet Street journalist and popular broadcaster on BBC Radio Wales. He is the author of Hearts of Oak, Nerves of Steel: Shipwrecks and Heroism in the Celtic Sea, and Lifeboat VC: The Story of Coxwain Dick Evans Bem and His Many Rescues.
