This handbook for the use of tramps and hoboes, has taken eighteen years to complete. I have added to it, altered it, condensed it, expanded it, checked the facts. Learned and added new pieces. I think I have finally written it correctly and finished.

I believe it is the best available book on the subject, and cannot see any improvement that I can make, at the moment . . .
