Short comic essays and squibs on the small absurdities of modern life: personal adornments nobody asked for, shelf culture and the books bought to be seen, portable pigeonholes, similes and sudden enlightenments about the wickedness of humanity. Mackall opens by thanking his dentist, tailor, stationer and grocers, without whose bills the book might never have been written.
