Personally I like to "haunt" the used bookstores and Half.com if I am looking for anything that is remotely old. That is how I found a hardback with dustcover version of The Atlas of Middle-earth.

As to Bored, well I had learned of it about six years ago when surfing the internet, the book had gone of production. They may have brought it back because of its growing popularity.

I grew up with Mad magazine with my brothers and other related items. I also love a good satire( except doctor strangelove....too much for me.. not my can of beans). Another wonderful satire, but not related topic is Johnathan Swift's "A modest purposal". Definately dated, but still an excellent piece. Both satire will fly right over the heads of the younger audiance, but once you jaded with the world and its crudness and induendos, you will catch most everything.
It would be worth few bucks, but I would not recommend you buy it new if you are not sure that you would like it. And do not be worried if you will be offended or not, because you will, as it is a satire and is suppose to be crude.
