Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Pons Asinorum Or The Future of Nonsense George Edinger and E J C
Neep Originally published in 1929. "A most entertaining essay, rich
in quotation from the old masters of clownship's craft." Saturday
Review The author maintains that true nonsense must be aimless
humour - the humour that makes fun as opposed to the humour that
makes fun of something. 88pp Democritus Or The Future of Laughter
Gerald Gould Originally published in 1929. "Democritus is bound to
be among the favourites of the series. Gould's humour glances at
history, morality, and humanity...wise and witty writing." Observer
Democritus is intended to illustrate the prevailing fashion in
laughter and on the basis of historical and philosophical
principles to forecast the humour of the future. 90pp Mrs Fisher Or
The Future of Humour Robert Graves Originally published in 1928 "Mr
Graves is the best man who could have been chosen to write on this
subject." Daily Express "...perfectly irresponsible, as a joker
should be." The Times This volume analyzes humour with a solemnity
which becomes almost nightmarish. 90pp Babel Or the Past, Present
and Future of Human Speech Richard Paget Originally published in
1930. "...stimulating and absorbing." Journal of Education This
volume discusses human speech and treats it as a growth which must
be tamed if it is to fulfil its highest purpose as a symbolism for
human thought. 86pp

In this hilarious account of a debt collection agency, the reader
is introduced to five categories of excuses debtor's use to escape
paying their bills. Phone dialogue and excerpts from letters are
included. Gould describes a possible scenario how the collection
industry began with the cave men. A brief history from antiquity
through Irish Brehon Law to modern practices culminates with the
Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. In 1988, Gerry Gould
was named Instructor of the Year by the Association for Credit and
Collection Professionals (ACA) International. The rich history of
the ACA is highlighted throughout the book. Having an entertaining
way of telling a story and teaching that enamored him to his
students and fellow professional debt collectors, Gerry's book is a
must read for anyone touched by this industry -- collectors,
doctors, whom his Royal Collection Agency represented, and yes,
even debtors. This is the second book B.B. Gould wrote based on
Gerry's motivational writings. GG's Principle: Three Steps to
Empower You in Any Situation was published in 2011.
