Light bumps to spine ends, otherwise minor shelf wear. "The volume's general tenor is wild, winking and explosive. As such, it picks up where Chappelle's Show left off--gouging the government, lampooning cultures black and white, leaving no sacred cow unslaughtered. Even the smiling watermelon on the book's front cover has been retained despite sniffs by national media outlets. 'This is black humor,' Beatty writes, 'and I don't mean African-American black.'"--Publishers Weekly. ISBN: 1-59691-148-4. more information
