Published by Plume, an imprint of Dutton Signet / Penguin Group, this is the first Plume paperback printing (November 1996) of Leo Rosten's Carnival of Wit, originally issued in hardcover in 1994. Compiled and curated by Rosten, the volume presents an expansive, alphabetically arranged anthology of wit and wisdom including wisecracks, epigrams, malapropisms, puns, one-liners, and comic observations - spanning thinkers, writers, performers, and public figures from antiquity through the twentieth century, famously 'from Aristotle to Woody Allen.' The book is in Very Good+ condition. Covers show only light shelf wear consistent with careful handling; corners remain sound, and the spine is straight, tight, and uncreased. The binding is firm, with no looseness or reading strain. Pages are clean, bright, and unmarked throughout, with no highlighting, writing, stamps, or ownership marks. No dust jacket, as issued in paperback. Notably, this copy includes two laid-in pieces of museum ephemera, both bookmarks: one from the National Museum of Women in the Arts featuring a Maria Sibylla Merian engraving, and one from the National Museum of the American Indian featuring Quanah Parker. These are clean, well-preserved, and add an appealing layer of cultural context and collectible interest without affecting the book itself. Edition statement is confirmed by the number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3, indicating the first Plume printing. A handsome, engaging copy of one of Rosten's most popular and enduring works. Ideal for browsing, reference, or casual reading, and enhanced by thoughtful period ephemera. Leo Rosten (1908-1997) was an American writer, humorist, screenwriter, and cultural commentator, best known for his explorations of language, wit, and Jewish life in America. A longtime contributor to The New Yorker and Look, he combined erudition with accessibility, making him one of the twentieth century's most engaging popular intellectuals. His works remain widely read for their warmth, intelligence, and enduring comic insight.
