Upon The Pun - Paul Hammond

This delectable and provocative work is the best I have read, a medley of the clerkly and the earthy. Their views on pictorial puns really open our eyes (Walter Redfern, in his book Puns). On the one hand a crisp analysis of verbal and visual ambiguities, on the other an extremely entertaining anthology of frightful jokes(George Melly, New Society) A book for everyone who delights inboth verbal and visual puns.
