Finished another out-of-copyright item on the Cybook on the bus home tonight. Topper by Thorne Smith is an entertaining 1920s tale of a stuffy banker being led astray by riotous ghosts. I'm too tired with lingering tonsillitis to write a proper review, but check out the Amazon reviews and think about downloading it from feedbooks.

Oh my! Is the book available? If it is *anywhere* as good as the films, I want to see it!

The links in the post go to a trade paperback edition on Amazon UK and to a (legal) free ebook on feedbooks. Since it's out of copyright, there are also a number of POD editions available on both Amazon UK and Amazon US.

There are also cheap second-hand copies of the out-of-print mass market paperback under the title Topper Takes a Trip
