Subject: A "satirical masterpiece"? Not quite.
On the one hand, it's comforting, in a weird way, that the presence of these books has persisted over the years - they will always be with us, like eyelash mites. On the other... this is apparently from a time when the general grasp of the Japanese language in the West was, let us say, tenuous at best...and the stuff that's meant to taken straight here (the pronunciation of simple words approximated _very very loosely_ through English text) contains more genuine humor than the book's actual attempts.
Subject: An 'Old York Clocks' Best Saler
(This book is a satirical masterpiece, featuring a glowing review from "Wrong Idiot News")
