A Book of Bits or A Bit of a Book is more than a Bit of a Book and not just a Book of Bits.On the other hand,it is not a bitty book and it has its 'booky' bits.However . . . .
it really is impossible to describe a Spike Milligan opus,but if you have read 'The Little Pot Boiler' and 'A Dustbin of Milligan' this new one is the book for you (and it's even if you haven't).
Of note: it includes a pastiche of James Bond in 'Agent 008',which was/had been published in the satirical magazine Private Eye.One for Bondiana collector's or completists?
