But I have my suspicions. I'm surprised no one else seems to have seen the book! I only paid 99p for it!

Intriguing!

Brian - I once had this in hardback with orange board covers and published in New York. I thought it a very odd read and seem to recall checking it out and coming to the conclusion it was phoney - hence I no longer have it! I can't recall what led me to believe it was fiction as it must have been 20 years ago....but, for what its worth, I've had it, read it and my suspicions were as per yours!
