Confessions of a Norfolk Newshound

The sequel to Skipper's best-selling Confessions of a Country Boy, this is a hugely entertaining account of his early career in journalism from 1961 to 1979.Journalism in the '60s and '70s was still a world of epic lunch hours, carbon paper, hot metal and eccentric bosses--and one of camaraderie, dedication and endless hours spent in pursuit of good quarry and copy. Keith Skipper recalls those pre-computer days with sly humor and a sharp ear for rich dialogue.
