Banker Pook Confesses

Book excerpt: Readers who opened a fun account with Banking on Form and Bwana Pook will be delighted by this latest addition to their libraries. When a bank clerk struggles as hard as Pook does to live an eventful life, he is sure to get into trouble with the Manager. Mr Putty and his Chief Clerk, Mr.Pants, disapprove strongly of Pook’s appearance as the nude prude in an all-colour girlie film, and when Pook and our old friend Honners take the Manager to a strip club, their account goes deep into the red. Of course, no Pook book would be complete without a bit of wooing, and who better for Pook to woo than the Bank Chairman’s daughter? How his plans are thwarted by the ancient ledger-keeper, Mr. Pills, must be read to be believed. Suffice to say that against an authentic background of commercial practice Pook hits a new high in hilarity.
