To say that this is the greatest novel you have ever read is a trite statement. We won't say it. At least not at the moment.Shouldn't that be the greatest novel you will ever read? After all, the advert is selling Toronto Doctor in advance of publication.
The sample pages alongside are a fair indication of the quality and style of this important book. These are no better and no worse than the average of its 386 pages.I can attest to the veracity of this bold claim, though it needs mention that these aren't pages from the book – the page numbers and lines of type do not match. Oh, and the finished book has 390 pages.

The Vancouver Sun, 21 February 1966 |
The poetic burglars have struck again.
For the second time in a week, police found a poetic message while investigating a break-in.
The message discovered early today at Canadian Trailmobile, 2650 Slocan, read:
"You think we are fools, because we borrowed your tools. It's not very funny, because we also took your money. The Human Termites, Batman and Zorro."
A small amount of cash was taken from the office.
Police said the thieves entered the premises by smashing a window.
Last week, police found a similar note while investigating a $400 break-in at a downtown restaurant.
