God bless Mrs McGinty! : my life and The Sunday Post
Anderson, Bill2016
Books, Manuscripts
Entertaining, lively, informative and direct, this autobiography by Bill Anderson about his life and times as the editor of one of the UK's most successful Sunday newspapers chronicles a special view of Scotland, and 'The Sunday Post' itself, from the late 1930s to the 1980s. The memoir was written in 1982 while Anderson was recovering from a near-fatal car accident. The manuscript remained undiscovered until 2014 when Bill's wife Maggie came across it as she was clearing out her desk - 'not before time' he probably would have said. The manuscript was entitled 'Who the Hell is Bill Anderson?' Here it is, and it is a fascinating account of childhood in working-class Scotland in the 1930s and 40s, of the wee boy who would grow up to edit the best-read newspaper in the world, 'The Sunday Post.'
