Dylan Thomas praised Evan's book with out let-up. H. G. Wells trumpeted: 'There was one, who is too little esteemed, who has done the thing (of telling people about the trade shops) with a certain brutal thoroughness, and he tells a great deal of truth. That is Caradoc Evans in his book NOTHING TO PAY. In America H. L. Mencken offered 100 free copies to the local libraries. V. S. Pritchett said: 'There is a wild sardonic humor about Mr. Evan's hatred, something which whips the narrative off realism's earth.
If Gywn Thomas had a mean side it just might sound like Caradoc Evans. Though Evans' prose style is much sparer than the author of THE WORLD CANNOT HEAR YOU.
