A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. Stephen Pile is a Renaissance Man, equally unable to do a vast range of act ivities. The Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain Western civilization is obsessed with success, even though most of us have a genuine flair for the exact opposite. Three years ago Stephen Pile decided to do something about it: he formed the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain. To get into the Club you had to be not terribly good at something and preferably downright awful. Members addressed the Club on the things they did worst or couldn't do at all. Sometimes they would give displays and win standing ovations. Over the years they held appalling musical evenings, art exhibitions and so on until the membership grew from 20 to 200. The book contains an application form for membership.
