A hilarious collection of the best book-related humor from the humor-laden archives of McSweeney's Internet Tendency.

First, they are made of paste and cloth, which is funny, as is the fact that people still buy and read them.” Open McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes and be regaled by such sketches, lists, letters, and spoofs as:
