I have to come back and review this properly one day, but in brief - this is a collection of wit and cleverness, really worth finding a copy.
And if you can't find a hardcopy, Adam has recently made the collection available as an ebook.

Great mix of observational brilliance and a down to earth approach, it's one of my favourite collections. Read a few samples here:
