I wonder if Legman's autobiography includes the 'cooking oli' crisis
Friends visited his home (a Knight Templar's Palace) to find it crammed full of containers of cooking oil- he had been told that there was to be a shortage and had taken steps to make sure he wasn't effected.
We wrote to him once to obtain a copy of his 'No Laughing Matter' book ("Dirty" Dirty Jokes) which was widely unavailable in the UK
He kindly wrote back giving is an address in Soho, London, slap in the middle of the red light area
The shop was the only one that would handle it -along with the lavishly illustrated 'Rude Food' and 'Rude Wine' publications.
A couple of lesser known of Legman's works are an extensive essay on censorship entitled 'Love and Death' and a scathing analysis of the 'Swinging Sixties', 'The Fake Revolt'.
