200+ pages of the very best of National Lampoon, the magazine teenage boys had to use to see naked chicks before the internet was invented.
Quality stuff by P.J. O'Rourke, John Hughes, Doug Kenney, and the other NL alumni. Holds up well, and there's a smattering of new material that ranks right up there. The biggest surprise is a piece by William S. Burroughs (!)
Can't wait for the next "Big Book"

I was able to read the original articles in my Uncle's collection in the 70's and 80's,
but then Katrina washed everything he owned into the Lake.

This collection of all those great articles is a wonderful way to relive the non-PC, edgy humor of those times.

Lots of the best bits from the magazine, plus plenty of stuff I'd never seen. A great gift.

I came to buy a second book for a friend (I've had my copy for a month), and saw the review by Publisher's Weekly. Just because the Onion claims to be the new National Lampoon doesn't make it so. They are great at paroding the news but the lampoon has done sooooo much more. As far as un-PC goes it doesn't get any better than this. Very funny!

Super funny!!! Love all the great stuff, old and new! But whose idea was that cover??? Jheesh!
