5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Anyone Who Loves Puns, December 28, 2001

By	Dr. Stanley M. Kegel "punster" (Orange, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An absolutely brilliant collection of puns riddles and groaners from two award winners in the field.Richard Letterer is the author of the acclaimed "Anguished English" series and is probably the most quoted author on internet joke lists. He is a recipient of the Punster of the Year from The International Save The Pun Foundation, the premier body for paronomasiacs. James Ertner placed second in the 2000 International O. Henry Punoffs and is the author of a previous animal pun book. All the jokes are clean enough for a nine year old but sophisticated enough for English scholars. What a bargain. Over 4000 riddles and groaners, over 600 pages for $. The paperback sells for $ and is worth it. I would rate this as the top book of puns available today in print or by electronic media

5.0 out of 5 stars the biggest and best I've ever read, November 22, 2001

By	Jack Bickel (acton, MA USA) - See all my reviews

My biggest concern is that amazon is not crediting the real brain behind this book- james ertner.

the book is absolutely the best- I chuckled all the way thru. there is material here for business talks, church talks, and great laughs around the dining room table- highly recommend it.

and why not credit jim ertner as well as mr lederer?

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest and punniest, November 21, 2001

By A Customer

This is by far the funniest -- and punniest -- book I've ever seen. And over 4,500 jokes for only [...] makes this the bargain of the millennium.
