Treasury of Humor
- Book Review,
by Eric W. Johnson
From Book News, Inc.
Here are 477 stories and jokes indexed under some 1,000 subjects. A remarkably good selection--diverse, instructive, wise or witty--that can be read in fairly large doses without souring. Here's one: "An English public school was obliged to raise tuition. A letter informed parents... the increase would be 500 pounds sterling per annum, except it was spelled per annum. A parent wrote, `For my part I would prefer to continue paying through the nose, as usual.' Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
