I loved this column in Spy Magazine, and I probably liked the book a lot when it was first published in 1988. But it hasn't really aged well. The best examples are on the cover, while most of the other pairings have lost the topical humor and relevance they once had.
It occurred to me how few racial minorities were represented in the book, so you could almost say that the point of the book is that white people look alike...
Old book from '88, so didn't even recognize some of the people they were comparing. The best ones were the animals/cartoon comparisons. Would like an updated and color version
