This book is not intended as a definitive tome but is instead a joyful and irreverent celebration of great photography and some of the greatest one-liners of the 20th century, ripe in satire, anecdote, self-deprecation and irony.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing photographs of comedians such as Larry David, Fran Lebowitz, Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Lenny Bruce, Rita Rudner, Joan Rivers and George Burns, the book's portraits are accompanied by one-liners such as: \"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.\" (Groucho Marx); \"When I was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.\" (George Burns); \"It was a Jewish porno film ... one minute of sex and nine minutes of guilt.\" (Joan Rivers); \"You know who wears sunglasses inside? Blind people and assholes.\" (Larry David); \"I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.\" (Fran Lebowitz).\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767385588000,"sku":"9781909526839","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/552a21c8ef6af64c4b95c559b90e76bb.webp?v=1780310159","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-small-book-of-jewish-comedians-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
