from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Freud did not see jokes as minor nonsense and insignificance. He saw them as deeper messages delivered to us from our unconscious.

from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
I thought Regina Barreca's book was a nice introduction to someone unfamiliar with women's issues, especially in regard to humor, but it does not go quite far enough.
