RESEARCHER - Wolfhound Press Guide to Evening Classes - Summer 2002 by Siobhan Pat Mulcahy

Wolfhound Press
Up until 2002, Wolfhound's was the only Guide to Evening Classes and an annual bestseller in Ireland but (probably for that reason) it eventually found it had many imitators. Shortly after my summer research stint, Merlin Publishing bought Wolfhound Press whose owner gladly laughed all the way to the bank.
