writing, and illustration from one of today's most popular young

Bo Burnham was a precocious teenager living in his parents' attic
when he started posting material on YouTube. 100 million people
viewed those videos, turning Bo into an online sensation with a
huge and dedicated following. Bo taped his first of two Comedy
Central specials four days after his 18th birthday, making him the
youngest to do so in the channel's history. Now Bo is a rising star
in the comedy world, revered for his utterly original and
intelligent voice. And, he can "SIIIIIIIIING "
In EGGHEAD, Bo brings his brand of brainy, emotional comedy to the
page in the form of off-kilter poems, thoughts, and more. Teaming
up with his longtime friend, artist, and illustrator Chance Bone,
Bo takes on everything from death to farts in this weird book that
will make you think, laugh and think, "why did I just laugh?"

oldies with fresh jokes about our favorite stereotypes that make
you laugh. It presents an irreverent view of Scotland and the
Scots. Gentle, vintage humour. If you're looking for answers to
questions like: 'How do you get a Highlander onto the roof? Tell
him the drinks are on the house' and 'what clothes should I take
for a trip to Scotland? All of them.' then look no further than
this book.

"This book almost didn't exist. I was about to write a serious,
heavy book entitled How To Save Western Civilization, as a sequel
to my book How To Destroy Western Civilization and Other Ideas from
the Cultural Abyss. But writing it was not making me happy, and
reading it was not going to make anybody else happy either. And
then I stopped just long enough for my guardian angel to squeeze
through that tiny window of opportunity that I had opened up by my
silence and to whisper this commonsense question into my
subconscious: "Why not make them happy instead?" (Angels specialize
in common sense.) I started thinking: Western civilization is
neither healthy, happy, nor holy. Humor is all three. Humor is not
only holy, it's Heavenly. And if you are surprised to be told that
humor is Heavenly, you need to read this book because you reveal
your misunderstanding of both humor and Heaven. If you ask, 'Is
there laughter in Heaven?' my answer is: 'You can't be serious!'"
As John Hodgman says in this book's introduction, "We all know that
books are funny. First, they are made of paste and cloth, which is
funny, as is the fact that people still buy and read them." With
that in mind, the "McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes "collects
the best book-related humor from the humor-laden archives of
"McSweeney's Internet Tendency. "Open it and be regaled by such
sketches, lists, letters, and spoofs as:

THREE BOOKS IN ONE A TRIPLE HELPING OF GARFIELD HUMOR
MEANS THREE TIMES THE FUN!
He used to be perfect, but now he's even better! Garfield, the fat
cat with the super sized ego, is back in the spotlight, dissing his
dimwitted owner Jon - even pilfering his pants. Some cats chase
mice; Garfield prefers to take legal action. When down on the farm,
the city kitty puts up with-and puts down-Jon and his barnyard
brother. No wonder Garfield's often in a bad mood.
But no matter what, he's always in the mood for food!
The GARFIELD FAT CAT 3-PACK series collects the GARFIELD
comic-strip compilation books in a new, full-color format. Garfield
may have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the
same: his enormous appetite for food and fun. So enjoy some super
sized laughs with the insatiable cat, because too much fun is never
enough!
GARFIELD BEEFS UP
GARFIELD GETS COOKIN'

Featuring narrative essays, short stories, conceptual pieces and
drawings, the bestselling "This Is a Book" delivers sharp jokes and
colorful characters from the brilliant mind of the renowned
