This book has gotten quite cheap in used form, mostly because the era at the NEW YORKER it sends up (1970s and 80s) has largely passed on. As Mr. Barrett has said in his review, below, it's more homage than parody, but it's fun if you understand (and remember) the source.

Hadn't thought of this book in years...owned it, loved it, then gave it to a friend and never saw it again. And never would have, were it not for the Internet. The other reviewer is dead on when s/he says it's witty, clever, and great fun.

Do note that in recent decades, the New Yorker has become *far* more up-to-date, , filled with fascinating and timely articles. Such was not the case in the late 50s and 60s when I began reading the magazine. In fact..."snooze" aptly described my reaction to most super-lengthy articles in those days. Be aware then that this parody is somewhat outdated. Still very amusing, but far more so if you're old enough to remember the old New Yorker.

If you're not familiar with the New Yorker magazine, your can still get great enjoyment from this terrific volume. The articles, cartoons, poetry, and miscellaneous items are all devastatingly witty and extremely well crafted. Most worthy and highly recommended.
