About the Book

Entertaining, lively, informative and direct, this memoir by Bill Anderson about his life and times as the editor of one of the UKs most successful Sunday newspapers chronicles a special view of Scotland, and The Sunday Post itself, from the late 193s to the 198s. The memoir was written in 1982 while Anderson was recovering from a near-fatal car accident. The manuscript remained undiscovered until 214 when Bills wife Maggie came across when she was clearing out her desk - not before time he would probably have said. The manuscript was entitled Who the Hell is Bill Anderson? Here it is, and it is a fascinating account of childhood in working-class Scotland in the 193s and 4s, of the wee boy who would grow up to edit the best-read newspaper in the world, The Sunday Post. The autobiography tells of Bills broad experience from his working-class roots, through childhood, later aboard the MV Marilyn Abbott, then his medical training at Glasgow University via Hartwood Hospital and his Army days, together with the adventures that only an Hon Man could encounter that gave him a fairly unique insight and perspective.As editor of The Sunday Post he was passionate, tenacious, campaigning and demanding. In 199 Bill left the editors chair to become managing editor, and the following year he won a Scottish Press Award for his lifetimes work. Though a traditional newspaperman, he was immediately aware of the impact that the internet would have on journalism, and in the early 199s he set up Scotland Online, a joint venture between DC Thomson and Scottish Telecom. In 1991 he became the first Scottish member of the Press Complaints Commission. He was appointed CBE in the same year.
