Not good. The illustrations are awful; look at the cover. There were some grammar and spelling errors and not, like, Yiddish grammar or something, just mistakes. Some of the jokes were not particularly Jewish either. Just because a Jewish comic said the joke once... Like maybe some of Henny Youngman's schtick ... if he's playing to the Ed Sullivan show audience... that's not what I was looking for. The Big Book of Jewish Humor is much, much better, although I haven't finished it yet.
On the other hand, lots of classics are in here, so there are some laughs.
