Looking for a good joke book

[Takver]

that is not part of a series (ie not Horrid Henry's Jokes or the like). Preferably not too expensive as it is for a stocking filler. Any suggestions . . .

I saw a good one in 'the works' for about £3

Many thanks - will have to get my Mum to have a look, I think there is a Works near her. Any idea of the title?

sorry, it was the only kiddies joke book in the shop though!

this is what you need

Looks like it's out of print but there are used copies here. It's a corker.

Ha Ha Bonk

That's really funny policywonk . . . what started me on this trail was finding my old copy of the Crack a Joke book. Its fab, but a lot of the jokes are rather dated now, was wondering if there was a more modern version. Mind you, that one you've linked to says new edition, so it might be a bit more up to date than mine!

It was great wasn't it. Wish I still had my copy. Is suspect it disintegrated through over-use.

Maybe I should just give dd my copy and explain the 70s jokes.
My other favourite was Professor Branestawm's dictionary - I've still got my copy of that too but all the pages have fallen out, will have to get to work with the sellotape . . .

Aaargh, Professor Branestawm - that rings loud bells but I can't quite remember why!

Anyway, I'm betting you were in the Puffin Club

I never was, not quite sure why though as I was a manic bookworm
