Everybody loves a good laugh… they’re just hard to find sometimes.  That’s where Funny Books come in, with anthologies that bring you the cream of a vast untapped American resource: humor writers you might not have heard of because they work in other regions or in media you don’t access.  Funny Books’ contributors are syndicated columnists, TV and comedy writers, winners of the top humor awards.  Coming together in special collections that poke a funny bone in the ribs of topics, issues and cultural icons you might not have thought of as humorous before reading these assortments of chortlemongers and guffaw greats.

 

Our first book, dedicated to St. Valentines Day, proved extremely popular both as a paperback love gift and ebook versions for sheer humor fans.  “Vday” is a holiday that draws a lot of attention (not to mention breathless anticipation, romantic fantasies, buyer panic, and institutional disappointment) but is seldom just made a laughing stock  The pieces in My Funny Valentine might be warm fuzzies, or cynical snaps, historical enlightenment, or satiric spinouts, or behavioral field notes of Love in our times, but they have one thing in common: they make you laugh.  This is one anthology that goes beyond “bathroom reading”: it doesn’t shy from being wrapped in lace, flowers and murmurs to give to loved ones.  It’s not a box of chocolates: but it’ll last longer. My Funny Valentine is still available for purchase, review, and adoration on amazon.com!  Take a look at the spiffy paperback  right here.

 

Our next books are underway right now, already getting contributions.  Submissions are already open for a medical humor collection that is sure to apply liberal doses of “the best medicine”. And by this summer it will be joined by other titles sure to draw a laugh.
