Text is clean and bright, no marks.Unclipped DJ with $5.95 price shows light rubbing to all edges, small closed tear to lower edge of front cover. "In this collection of acerbic quips and devastating retorts, famed literary critic Kronenberger brings together hundreds of those devastatingly witty comments you always knew you yourself would make if someone didn't beat you to it. Ranging through the entire history of the written and spoken word, these barbed thrusts cover everything from sex to Boston, their only requirements being a stress on the element of surprise so essential to wit, and a delivery of their message with the "cutting edge" of a rapier rather than the crudeness of the club."
