Fans of Maynard will be delighted to read his further adventures in bacon curing. The last of the traditionally-apprenticed bacon curers, the author regales and inspires his readers with tales of

visits from the health inspectors

his colourful customers and work colleagues

his tips on curing, smoking and selling

the burglaries, bungled deals and triumphs

his growing reputation in the field

travels to learn how to make parma ham

and much more.

This book is the same addictive concoction of humour, tragedy and plain common sense, told in Maynard’s disarmingly frank manner.
