Ian Jackson's father's lexicon of admonishments and metaphors designed to chastise immediately and with more lasting effects over the longer term for his elder son. Divided into fifty-three subject lists – 'Architecture', 'Carpentry', 'Colours', 'Confrontational' and 'Endurance and Desperation'; examples from the last category include: 'doing the rounds', 'it's for your own good', 'drudge', 'nagging worry' and 'slaving in the vineyards'; to assemble a granular biography of his theoretical physicist father. Signed by Ian Jackson. 200 copies.
