The quotes are very well organized but not as thorough as expected. A good quick reference guide but if you are in need of quotes on a regular basis this one isn't as complete as expected.

Good content. Able to find useful quotations for presentations. In addition I really enjoyed browsing for pleasure and a few good laughs.

My wacky sister makes a point of giving totally useless birthday gifts to her best friends. Examples? Well over the years she's given Bernard one sock, last years calendar, a bra, size xxxxx over-large jockey y fronts, a used light bulb, a paper bag with eye holes, a Hebrew cookbook with accompaning Hebrew-English dictionary. You get the idea.

Well this year, guess what he's getting!

Yes! You're right! This book. It doesn't have a single funny joke!

Material is very dated from the 1950s. Way out of touch with todays audience. Not much usable material.

At the rate of 5 jokes per penny how could this book not be a good deal? The jokes by now are very dated. It is really a history of what used to be funny. The problem is you have to search through so many old jokes to find one you might use. I have belatedly discovered that jokes books are not of much value in public speaking. Using other peoples old jokes could really ruin your image. May be this book is good for a humor historian. It may be useful in stimulating your own joke creation. All in all for some the book is worth the price, just be sure you can accept all the clutter before you buy it. The editorial reviews are deceptive--look out.
