For those interested: it's mainly very unstructured (and undated) 
anecdotes of Mackay's time in Fleet Street, as journalist, editor etc. and 
the many people who knew.  He says the period covers 1870-90 but there are 
a few things in the book which don't quite fit that.  Also, Mackay was 
acknowledged as a master of writing fiction that passed for fact, so 
perhaps not all the book is true?  Otherwise very readable and 
entertaining.

All the best,
