CONTENTS

The book was published in 1996 and was sold until 2005, at which time I stopped selling copies because the book was put simply outdated. This year (2008) the book gets resurrected on line, but with the addition of "postscripts" at the end of each chapter. These postscripts are intended to bring certain subjects up to date. In the chapter list below, chapter titles that are hyperlinks are readable; those that are not hyperlinks have not yet been updated with postscripts. In effect, a serialized, updated version of Flake: Confessions of a Psoriatic is being built here.  -Ed
