THE SATURDAY REVIEW SAMPLER OF WIT AND WISDOM

Divided into ""six entertainments,"" the ""Sampler"" is designed for six evenings of diversion and it's a very pleasant way to while away the time. The pieces are taken from the magazine's features and consist of everything from humorous essays to cartoons to poetry to testing your literary and musical I.Q. Contributors include John Steinbeck, Goodman Ace, John Ciardi, Bel Kaufman, Brooks Atkinson and Cleveland Amory and the topics range from a Japanese vacation with Iam Fleming to hailing the cliche to a beautiful poetical put-down in a Manner of Speaking by Ciardi. One sample leads to a sale, probably as a gift item.
