Wanted to give some laughs to a friend but after reading quite a few pages did not find anything funny. Then, past the book to another friend and did not find it funny either. Sorry!

Having hoisted quite a few at the bar Jimmy tends (Virgil's, just off Time's Square) I can attest that this book is every bit as funny as Jimmy is in person. Having worked behind the bar for 20 years, Jimmy has heard every joke known to humankind -- tell him a punchline and he'll tell you the gag. He's a fine raconteur, a gentleman and a judge of fine bourbon, and one damn funny guy who has written one damn funny book. And, let's face it, there probably hasn't been a time since the Draft Riots that New York City has been more in need of a good laugh. So, if you're looking for a fine compendium of punch lines, you can't do better than the NYC Bartender's Joke Book.

This is a great collection of jokes, new and old. And even the old ones are presented in a lively, fresh format. The author knows how to spin a yarn, and even make the corniest puns seem funny. Yes, this is a glowing review. The only negative I can think of is that one can flip through the book all too quickly. More, please!

There are some very good jokes in this book. However, most of the jokes are very old and are ofpoor quality. If you have the time to go through it, you may find it worth your while because some are good.

This is the best collection of jokes I've read! It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud and this book did it! Very difficult to put down!

if your over 21 you know every joke in this book,and if you don't it's because it's a dumb joke,and don't even get me started on how long it took to get the thing in the mail,it was sent to me via 4th class even though i paid enough to have it sent 1st class.

The best and funniest collection of jokes I've ever read. Well done and Jimmy's comments throughout the book are great.

Much funnier than the other joke books out there. Well worth the money, cause it will be a book you pick up to read over and over again.
