The Flatman Compendium is the result of people putting chemicals into marmalade that tasted better before. Also of fly-by-night characters digging around in Snowdonia National Park for a quick buck; of seabirds in oil; of floating islands of indestructible plastic; of blind over-procreation; of the conversion of the Q.E. 2’s library into a casino; of the conversion of animals into fur coats and candles; of the conversion of just about everything into money.

This book doesn’t attempt to explain the mentality of those responsible, but I can tell you roughly what they look like:

The Flatman Compendium isn’t so much dedicated to, as pointed at, Flatmen (and Flatwomen) everywhere.
