Review

Stuart Trueman has done what apparently countless other columnists in Canada are doing — collecting what they consider to be the “best” of their writing and binding it up between hard (or semi-hard) covers.

In Trueman’s case, the offerings are allegedly humorous — at least the jacket notes say they’re humorous — short pieces arranged into chapters. The book costs almost $17. As an ardent reader, I look long and hard at a $20 bill before buying a book I very much want, so the idea of throwing away that kind of money on puff that takes less than an hour to read seems scandalous.
