Synopsis
While Alasdair Gray has chosen and edited all the prefaces and has written most of the commentary he has been assisted in this endeavour by some thirty authors who have also written commentaries. These include James Kelman, Janice Galloway, A.L. Kennedy, Bernard MacLaverty, Liz Lochhead, Roger Scruton and, indeed, Virginia Woolf. A copy of the "Book of Prefaces" should be found in every household and hotel bedroom. It is a unique work of literature, indeed a history of literature which will delight and amaze and inform both casual browsers and students. Its like has never been seen nor will it be seen again for at least another millennium.

Alongside the immaculate book is a postcard sent by Alasdair Gray on the 3 Feb 2001 to S.D. Thomson. The postcard is handwritten by Gray on both sides, and details a correction he would like to make to the book on the origin of the name of Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, following a letter he received from S.D. Thomson on the subject. The card carries Gray's printed address and is signed by him and includes white strip corrections by Gray. The book also comes with the errata slip which was issued at the time of publication, and an additional errata slip sent by Gray with the card, with a handwritten addition relating to the subject discussed.
