"Spy was so funny when it was funny, and if that didn't last long...it made up in quality what it lacked in quantity... Perhaps you are too young or too old or were institutionalized during Spy's glory years. This really is the book for you. When people ask, "What were the late '80s like?" you can hand them this book and say, "It was like this, except no one was as smart as these guys.'"
