		<description><![CDATA[Dobson was no stranger to controversy, but rarely did he create so tumultuous a brouhaha as was caused by his pamphlet Hints And Tips For Intrepid Explorers In The Polar Wastes (out of print). Dobson himself had of course never been anywhere near either the Arctic or the Antarctic, and one of the many puzzles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The pamphleteer Dobson had an idée fixe that anyone born on the first of April needs must be a fool, and an incorrigible and irredeemable fool at that. (It is pertinent to note that Dobson took great pains never to divulge his own date of birth and seems to have destroyed all records of it.) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cyclops With A Broom!, Dobson&#8217;s pamphlet on the one-eyed crossing-sweeper of Sawdust Bridge, is one of his very few efforts to address the subject of one-eyed crossing-sweepers. With Sawdust Bridge, of course, he was on more familiar turf, having written a full account of this crumbling yet still majestic structure in A Full Account Of [...]]]></description>

It is the sound of a human heart, stimulated by excitement, beating harder and more rapidly than it is wont to do when the body or the brain is at rest. I am sure you can think of dozens, if not hundreds, of circumstances in which the human [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“And what should they know of potatoes, who only potatoes know?” asks Dobson, in the title of one of his pamphlets, which is sadly out of print. It is a dazzling tour de force, noted for  containing an eerily accurate description of crinkle-cut oven chips, written before such things existed.
It is worth noting that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In that piece from seven years ago reposted yesterday, I quote from the Book of Isaiah (King James Version). It is there we meet the so-called Isaiah Cormorant, one of four cormorants to be found in the Bible, the four most culturally important cormorants ever to have existed. Anybody who is serious about cormorants, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“I think,” said Dobson, at breakfast one foul and rain-sodden Tuesday morning, “It is time we had our own mosh pit.”
Marigold Chew raised an eyebrow.
“Do you actually know what a mosh pit is?” she asked.
“Not exactly,” replied the twentieth century&#8217;s greatest out of print pamphleteer, “But I suspect it would be a good use of [...]]]></description>
