Originally published in 1839, this humorous manual will teach you how to become a successful swindler and explain why you should be one. It claims to be written by Captain Barabbas Whitefeather and edited by John Jackdaw-pseudonyms for Douglas William Jerrold. This reproduction (featuring an original ad from 1839) is reasonably priced, because we at Curious Publications do not endorse swindling.

Curious Publications. Books for the unlike-minded.

If you’re reading this, you’ve already got something in common with us. Curiosity. For the weird and wonderful, the strange and unusual, the unexplained and unbelievable. We find it in new, original writing and give it a home. And we find it in old, oddly fantastic public domain books that have been lost to obscurity and give them new life.
