Publisher's Synopsis

Invective and insult are alive and well. This book brings together the classic and modern jibe, both well-known and obscure. It is unsparing in its search for the impolite. If you thought SCORN WITH ADDED VITRIOL was the most outrageous collection of insults ever compiled, SCORN WITH EXTRA BILE, the original text with many new additions, goes even further into the realms of slander and abuse. Witty, damning and very entertaining, it laughs, mocks and snarls at the world at large.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
