Synopsis
Excerpt from Wisdom on the Hire System: Containing Full Details of the 'Insidecompletuar Britanniaware' Prize Competition
What is life without prizes? In the words of a greatjurist, a blank. But, again, what are prizes without compe tition? The idea is unthinkable. Conscious of our great responsibilities, we are resolved not to pauperise the nation, but to exact a reasonable expenditure of time and trouble on the part of the applicants for our unparalleled munificence. Hence the scheme which it is now our privilege to propound.

Wisdom on the Hire System (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique blend of literary and historical exposition which playfully examines the intersection of literature and advertising. It explores this connection by presenting a fictionalized account of a fictional competition whereby readers are invited to provide answers to intentionally obscure questions, buried deep within an equally fictionalized tome. The author, with deft wit, disguises clever marketing ploys within the narrative, using them to illuminate a range of ideas, from the importance of tradition and the power of community, to the very nature of our own humanity. Through this fictional conceit, the book develops a rich thematic depth, leading the reader to question assumptions about literature, advertising, and the endless stream of information we encounter in our daily lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780265122143_0
