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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572266406107,"sku":"2026100010852-SECONDHAND","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/21771170-ce1e-4b27-9353-ed9edd4f0ed4.png?v=1791166129","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010852-secondhand-the-image-men","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
