Customer Reviews

Is there a synonym for extraordinary?
Incredibly funny. Fantastically smart.
The Onion people make the rest of us feel inadequate.

Perefect Gift for Intelligent Friends of Any Political POV!
God bless the Onion! Nothing and no one is sacred or left unscathed. I have given this to firends who are communists, democrats, republicans, evangelicals, etc. Anyone with a sense of humor and some knowledge of history will love this!

Fantastic coffee table reading!
This book is a great entertaining, yet somehow informative glimpse of the past. It's perfect for leaving on your table top and glancing when you have some free time. Highly recommended.
