"An attractively-bound book containing reprinted cartoons and IN PARENTHESIS columns since the opening of hostilities.... The book should prove interesting to many Shanghailanders who have gone through the present trouble and wish to add a touch of humour to their collection of war mementoes."—China Press.
.i. an excellent &ouvenir of the less grim side of unfortunate events through which Shanghai passes. "Shanghai's Schemozzle" shows no dead bodies, no burnt buildings and makes no attempt to impress one with the horror of war, but it does reflect one side of the conflict which will be worth remembering in later years.... "Shanghai's Schemozzle" is printed on fine paper and the whole makes a very beautiful appearance.
Many will agree that the way Sapajou and IN PARENTHESIS observe the war is the sanest way after all.—Shanghai Evening Post and Mercury,
