BATMAN I'm not!

My name is Valentine Flynn, I hold down a job that's very different from yours, and I like to hold down anything else I can.

You ever hear of Industrial Espionage? Neither did I until I discovered all the bread, broads and booze involved... then I found out pretty quick.

This time I thought I might be in a little deep, or was it not deep enough? For a while there I thought I'd never get everything worked out.

But then we got everything straight...

Vintage Paperback Classic – Digital Preservation PDF

Originally published in the golden age of mass-market paperbacks, What a Way to Go! by Sean O’Shea (AKA Robert Tralins) is a sharp, fast-moving example of mid-century popular fiction—bold, stylish, and unapologetically of its time.

This PDF edition has been carefully assembled by the Gardner Francis Fox Library as part of its ongoing mission to preserve, archive, and make accessible overlooked vintage paperbacks that shaped popular storytelling in the 20th century. Many of these books were printed cheaply, read heavily, and never intended to survive. This digital edition ensures the story remains available for future readers, scholars, and fans of classic pulp fiction.

Presented in its original form, this release maintains the spirit, pacing, and voice of the era in which it was written—before modern revisionism, corporate dilution, or cultural sanitization. It stands as both an entertaining read and a historical artifact, reflecting the attitudes, rhythms, and genre conventions of its time.

This is a preservation release.

The goal is not reinvention, but continuity—keeping these stories alive, readable, and part of the ongoing conversation about popular literature and its influence on modern genre fiction.

Ideal for:

Readers of vintage pulp and paperback originals

Writers and artists studying classic genre storytelling

Collectors interested in preserved digital editions

Fans of the Gardner Francis Fox Library’s archival mission

By offering this PDF edition, the Gardner Francis Fox Library helps ensure that forgotten paperbacks are not forgotten stories.
