The only book about jokes you'll ever need - By: Mr. Stuart Bruce, 11 Jun 2008
The quote from The Times on the back of the book is spot on: this book is four-fifths a book about the nature, history, & meaning of comedy, & one-fifth the only joke book you'll ever need.

A lot of the analysis in this book is very straight, & to make up for the fact that the main text, though very interesting, is not necessarily laugh-a-minute, they put a classic & relevant joke at the bottom of very page. Brilliantly thought out, witty, intelligent, & well worth reading.
