As such, it is the world’s leading authority on the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompiled in one volume by C. D. Rose, a well-educated person universally acknowledged in parts of England as the world’s pre-eminent expert on inexpert writers, the book culls its information from lost or otherwise ignored archives scattered around the globe, as well as the occasional dustbin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dictionary amounts to a monumental accomplishment: the definitive appreciation of history’s least accomplished writers. Thus immortalized beyond deserving and rescued from hard-earned obscurity, the authors presented in this historic volume comprise a who’s who of the talentless and deluded, their stories timeless litanies of abject psychosis, misapplication, and delinquency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is, in short, a treasure.","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46375739228387,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781612194622","price":96.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781612194622.jpg?v=1747606526","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9781612194622","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
