Great book for the intellinerd

Great book! Very intelligent humor. Good gift for writers, English teachers or anyone that appreciates the English language.

Don't read while operating heavy machinery!

Brilliant and funny. Thaddeus Taylor is a lexicographical wizard. You think you don't want to read a book about puns? Remember when you said you wouldn't like Douglas Adams because you don't read science fiction? You'll find yourself following people around reading this book aloud to them, choking with laughter. Get it before someone else does.

Smart Humor - Intelligiggles

It's rare that you find an author that creates a whole new genre of humor. Are the puns? Are the riddles? What the heck are they? They are just plain funny! Highly recommend having this somewhere where friends can pick up the book while you cook them a spaghetti dinner. It will make for excellent "mealtainment".
