The Book Lovers Joke Book is the funniest book about books youll ever read. Youll find jokes about writers, agents, publishers, librarians, grammar, poetry, bookcases, and lightbulbs. There are rib-ticklers for typographers, crackers for critics, and badly foxed quips about antiquarian bookshops. Here too are the best literary April Fools (the jokes on you), rejection letters (the jokes on the publisher), cookbook jests (the jokes a bit crumby) and wardrobe puns (the jokes Narnia business). This delightful literary celebration will make every bibliophile laugh out loud, even in the library. I love telling people spoilers about The Picture of Dorian Gray. Never gets old.
