  1. I've been trying to find "The Gay Days of Gaythorne Humphries" online and can't find it anywhere. Do you have a PDF of this book?

  2. Sorry Tim, I don't. Are you really desperate for it? I can't remember how long the book is but I'll dig it out and have a look.

  3. The book is actually called "Dinner Takers May Go", so check under that title if you haven't already...

  4. That's hilarious, I must have first encountered this book here then because I had written a note to myself calling it "The Gay Days...". I've look under both titles to no avail, I've actually had a standing eBay search going for over two years I think - I remember renewing the search twice.

    I'm completely fascinated with small self-published auto-biographies. One of my great regrets was not photocopying a Midwestern man's stories of how he slept with prostitutes in the 1950s, it passed through my hands in a Kinko's copies and is now lost forever...
