This brief yet elegantly designed book reprints Houlihan's 1988 history of the Lancashire tripe trade, together with Roy Shipperbottom's essay on the "Decline of Tripe" and a 1987 piece by Lynda Brown on "Elder: 'A Good Udder to Dinner'" (the quote is from Pepys). Houlihan was inspired by a conversation with a neighbour: "When I were a girl, mi mother kept a trip shop up Halliwell, an that's summat y'never see these days."
