There have been many collections of humor to the point that it forces
the anthologist either to be repetitive or uncover some lesser known
examples. Here, The Author (one of the best writers) has found many
of the latter, encompassing both relatively obscure (today) authors and lesser
works of the best-known humorists. As such, it is a mixture of interesting and
rather dull selections. I do not care for the small and somewhat difficult
fonts used. It is valuable mostly for some 'nuggets' not frequently seen.
