You have to marvel at the combination of luck, self-belief and cockiness that led to the publishing phenomena of the 1980s . . . and then marvel that it managed to survive in its original anarchic format for as long as it did. The author of this opinionated, forthright and entertaining history doesn't always come across as the most sympathetic of individuals, but this is to his credit and adds to the fascination and honesty of the account.
