Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. This first-edition US hardback of The Compleat Practical Joker by H. Allen Smith is a laugh-out-loud collection of American wit, hijinks, and timeless prank tradition — now offered in excellent collectible condition. Originally published by Doubleday in 1953,…this 320-page volume brings together Smith's sharp, humorous essays on legendary practical jokes, notorious pranksters, and the curious art of jocularity. With its original pictorial dust-jacket — illustrated by cartoonist Charles Addams — this book captures the mid-century flavour of American humour and mischief. The binding is firm, pages are clean, and the jacket remains though with wear, tears and age-toning. The outside edges of the pages are mottled with time. See photos. A must-have for collectors of vintage humour, Americana, or anyone who loves a good old-fashioned prank. Great as a display piece, a conversation starter, or a gift for fans of classic American comedy — this book still delivers laughs nearly seven decades on.
