Relive the golden age of radio comedy with this vintage 1947 edition of "The New Can You Top This? Laugh Roundup". This delightful volume is a sequel to the original bestseller and serves as a compendium of wit and humor from the minds behind the famed "Can You Top This?" radio show. Compiled by the legendary "Knights of the Guffaw"—"Senator" Ed Ford, Harry Hershfield, and Joe Laurie Jr.—this 271-page book is packed with the jokes, anecdotes, and humorous stories that captivated millions of listeners in the 1940s.
Divided into categories such as animals, doctors, and lawyers, the book captures a unique era of American humor when the premise of the show was for comedians to "top" listener-submitted jokes. Measuring approximately 7.5" by 5", this Grosset & Dunlap edition is a fantastic piece of mid-century popular culture. It is in good condition, showing a gentle age consistent with a book over 75 years old. While it no longer has its original dust jacket, the colorful cloth boards remain a striking addition to any vintage library or comedy collection.
This item is vintage, over 75 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
