About the Author

Larry Wilde is the best-selling humor author of all time. Of his 53 books, his �Official� Joke Books series contains most (if not all) of the funniest jokes ever written. While they might be naughty, irreverent, provocative, offensive and 98% politically incorrect they are also undeniably laugh-out-loud funny. With more than 12 million copies sold it is the most popular and enduring series of joke books ever printed.

Until now, this legendary humor collection has been available only in paperback. Now, four decades after their original publication, Laugh.com offers the entire Larry Wilde �Official� Joke Book series in downloadable e-book format � unedited, uncut, exactly as they appeared in their notorious first editions.

Avid collectors of these joke books include Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak who, as a college student, operated a Dial-A-Joke service using Wilde�s books as source material. Wozniak would later team with Wilde to co-author their best-selling �Official Computer Freaks� Joke Book.� Famous humor columnist Art Buchwald relied on Wilde�s joke books for daily inspiration. Generations of comedians gleaned material from them. And legions of kids who used to sneak the books under their bedcovers to read by flashlight, still cherish their tattered paperbacks decades later.

While millions loved them, some did not. Critics of the books warned that they would lead to a total breakdown of society. Wilde and his publisher received hate mail and death threats. Lawsuits were filed to halt publication.

In Detroit protesters held a rally in a park and burned books while television cameras recorded this unprecedented event. The following week 28,000 copies were sold.

Larry Wilde has been a multi-faceted practitioner of comedy for more than 50 years. A longtime stand-up comedian appearing in top nightclubs and on television. He�s also a leading motivational humorist, the founder of National Humor Month, and Director of the Carmel Institute of Humor to promote humor as a tool for wellness, productivity and creativity.

Among his 53 bestselling books are two serious works: The Great Comedians Talk About Comedy, and How the Great Comedy Writers Create Laughter featuring interviews with 28 comedy luminaries discussing their craft, including Johnny Carson, Woody Allen, Jack Benny,
Jerry Seinfeld, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Neil Simon and Mel Brooks. Both books are considered definitive works on the subject.
