Originally published in 1947, The New Can You Top This? Laugh Round-Up is a delightful time capsule based on one of the most popular hit radio panel shows of the 1940s. The book compiles the finest quick-witted storytelling and humorous banter from the legendary comedy trio who competed on air to see who could tell the funniest punchlines. Featuring the minimalist, texture-focused book cloth binding characteristic of mid-century publishing, this volume serves as a wonderful piece of broadcasting history for collectors of vintage comedy and antique literature alike.
