I have just started reading Julie Burchill and Daniel Raven's Made in Brighton, for its topographical interest and because an excerpt so outraged Guardian readers in that town.
First impressions are not good. I have skimmed some of the text, but went first to the index, complied, it seems, after a long gin-and-cocaine session in a louche Brighton pubs. The indexer or indexers have invented someone called Peter Hamilton, referring to page 141 where Patrick Hamilton is mentioned. Raven describes himself in the blurb as a proof-reader.
