Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Entertaining, witty and philosophcal guide to surviving in our work-obsessed culture. Draws on a host of well-known idlers - including Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson and Nietzsche - to tackle essential facets of the 'doing nothing' culture such as sleep, revolution and bohemian living. Nice combination of the comic and the serious in a readable appraisal of our social culture. Major marketing campaign to petition for a new bank holiday - National Idle Day.
