Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).
If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.
Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
I am struggling to write this review for 101 Best Jokes, because in this book you will definitely NOT find the best jokes.
In fact, the jokes are so bad, that you would laugh at your misery for picking this book up in the first place. The only thing that is true about the title is that there are actually 101 jokes in total.
There are a lot of different jokes, mostly the jokes known as “dad jokes”, the blonde ones, the “yo mamma so ugly” ones are there too. The authors made sure all sorts of jokes are included. Too bad they failed to make me laugh. I actually found some of the jokes in there quite offensive. I can imagine someone actually using one of those jokes on a dinner table, telling the joke to the people around them and instead of laughter receiving the awkward smirk. Oh, can I please be invited to that party? Because that would be funny for sure!
Some did make me smirk though. Maybe only one or two, and that is why I will give this book two stars instead of one. One that stayed with me is this one:
“I was wondering why the baseball was getting bigger. And then it hit me.”
If you want a short-read to make you spend some time and kill your boredom, this would probably be a good book to pick up. If you are researching jokes for your stand-up comedy next weekend, maybe skip it. Keeping your expectations low enough will make you less disappointed.
If it was possible to give out 1/2 stars on here, this would have a .5 star out of 5 rating. This book completely failed to achieve it's goal of making the reader (a.k.a. me) laugh! Most of the jokes were either way too corny or downright mean. I think I laughed at a total of two jokes in the ENTIRE book. The only reason I read it was the fact that it was free on the kindle store. I would never recommend this book to anyone.
A freebie from Amazon. No, sorry it is not the 101 best jokes. I may have laugh once or twice but most were just dumb and not at all funny. The humor may appeal to pre-schoolers but I think most mature adults will be bored.
Only a few of these made me smile. Maybe. I don't think wife and mom bashing are funny. But then I'm both, you know being a woman and all, which is 50% of your audience.
I really like the jokes in this book. some of them are so dumb that u can't help but to laugh at them. if u like funny and rude blonde jokes, your momma and just a good laugh I recommend this book to u.
I read "101 Best Jokes" because I got it for free. Sadly, it had a few jokes that made me laugh. And I really hated "Yo momma...". It wasn't funny; it was verbal bullying.
Started off more like 101 Worst Jokes, but in the end there were a few good/okay ones. Besides, it was free and occupied for the 10 minutes it took to wait for a train so can't complain too much.
Hey, gang. This book, available for free download for Kindle for PC, is funny and will either leave you rolling on the floor, in stitches, or downright laughing for about 30 minutes. Then, its you who will run out of gas.
I've only really give this 3 stars as it was free, it would have been 2 stars otherwise. There was some decent jokes, but not a huge amount. There was also far too many 'yo momma' jokes, a couple would have been fine, but there was lots more of those!
the book is free, it's not much worse than the comedy clubs or late night tv humor. kinda goes along the lines of internet humor in spam mail, good effort at compiling this list nonetheless
Well, this had the potential to be better than it was, but then again it was free on kindle. Some of the jokes made me laugh but majority did not. Some even left me sitting there thinking 'Really?!'. I honestly didn't expect to see 'Yo momma' jokes in there.
Its unlikely that I will read it again unless I want to have a laugh with some friends and we can't find anything better to do, but we will probably just end up laughing at how not funny some of the 'jokes' are.
I wouldn't recommend it but I also wouldn't say don't read it. It's a book that you can live without reading and wont change your life if you do read it.

Considering that I got this book for free, it wasn't that bad. Some of the jokes were okay and I got a few laughs out of the book. Overall, however, a lot of the jokes were fairly poor. It's a very quick read, and you could probably get more laughs out of it if you read the book out loud among friends - you would probably get more laughs out of discussing how lame some of the jokes are personally.
Horrible book!! They call these jokes??? Really? Give me a break! Its more likely to frustrate you than making you laugh or lighten up your mood! There were probably 5 jokes in total that could be considered as jokes!
Meh! Read this one as it was free on kindle! What a terrible mistake! Do not read this book if you value your time! XD
Some jokes are funnier than others, and this book has both kinds. Formatting is easy to read and there are some real chuckles in here, so I don't mind skimming past the jokes that are less (or not) funny. Coming from a family of jokesters, it's always nice to have a few gems up my sleeve.
Not too impressive. For a free joke book, many are lame - as you would expect. Quite a few "a (blank) walked into a bar" jokes and blonde jokes. Nothing I found laugh out loud funny but a couple made me crack a smile.
YYYYAAAAASSSSSSSS Finalllyyyy I get to write a review of my FAV OMMGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! This is book is just so amazing I can say that the book is Funny amusing humorous comic laughable
YOU SHOULD READ IT RIGHT NOWW!!!!WHERE EVER YOU ARE YOU GOTTA BUY THIS BOOK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST IT HAS AMAZIIINNNGGGGG JOKES THAT YOU WILL LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!!!!
This small collection is read very fast, so no time will be wasted. I laughed at some of the jokes, frowned at others. That is normal, I believe. Some are too crude. I give the book 3 stars because I don't think it contains the 101 best jokes. But, we should keep in mind that everyone has a different favourite joke field. I don't appreciate jokes for blondes, but I love linguistic ones. With someone else, it's the opposite. That is why I didn't give 4 or 5 stars rating.
