White burlap binding with silver titles on spine, red and orange clown heads on front, quite clean and unmarked; tight, solid and square; page edges and pages clean, unmarked, no page creasing.

Some masters of this art included here are Max Beerbohm, John Riddell, Robert Benchley, James Thurber, Wolcott Gibbs, Richard Mallett, and Peter De Vries.
