 You
don’t have to be Jewish to appreciate this collection
of Jewish jokes, writes Peter Gruner
What began as a schoolboy hobby, almost 50 years ago, is about
to propel Camden marketing manager David Minkoff into the
international world of comedy books.
The 61-year-old grandfather from Edgware began the painstaking
task of writing down and cataloguing Jewish jokes soon after
his 13th birthday. Later he would rush home from his job at
solicitors Hodge Jones and Allen, in Camden Road, Camden Town
each evening and collate more humour. |

A thankfully slim biography of
the founder of Penguin Books satisfies veteran bookseller
Ian Norrie
Penguin Special: The Life and Times of Allen Lane, by Jeremy
Lewis
Viking, £25
ALLEN Lane, founder of Penguin Books, emerges from this biography
as a man haunted by his massive success.
Character flaws do not always fit happily with the image of
“a great popular educator” and “the creator
of a cultural revolution”, but this was scarcely Lane’s
fault. He did not in his early or middle years anticipate
high acclaim. |
