Have you read "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist"?

[welshexile1963]

How many have read Robert Tressel's brilliant book "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist"? This is a truly moving book, I remember when I first read it more than 20 years ago how it moved me, I am going to go out tomorrow and buy it to read again.

I heard that the original manuscript was 1,500 pages long and the commonly published edition is super abridged. I've also heard that the original version has been published, so I've put off reading it until I can find that version. Problem is, I can't find it anywhere.

I have read the "Great Money Trick" bit, though.
