Satirical comic fiction at its sharpest, "The Image Men" follows two disreputable academics, Professor Saltana and Dr. Tuby, who found the Institute of Social Imagistics and sell polished public personas to politicians, businessmen and entertainers. In "Out of Town" the pair build their racket in the provinces, while "London End" carries their schemes into the capital's world of media, advertising and power. Priestley skewers the manufactured reputation and the hollow rise of public relations with a wit that still lands, and the complete two volume set gives collectors both halves of his sly attack on a society that prizes image over substance.
