The other side of Line

Abstract

Purpose

To look at the pseudonymous writings of Maurice Line.

Design/methodology/approach

Appropriately humorous.

Findings

Professional humour in the UK is rare and deserves to be better bibliographed. Better bibliographing is one object of this short exploration of the other side of Line, this unveiling of pseudonyms and will provide, perhaps, a wider access to a rare resource.

Practical implications

Better bibliographing of pseudonyms.

Originality/value

Highlights issues of pseudonymity by a librarian well known himself for his humorous writing.
