Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. [modest edgewear to covers, one-time owner's name plus date & place of purchase in ink at top of title page]. (Fawcett Special #200) Series Trade PB News photos of news-making people, mostly politicians (including everybody who was in the running-for-President mix in 1968), enhanced with snarky/jokey captions in that special jugular vein of irreverence that Harvey Kurtzman had brought to mainstream humor via MAD magazine (although his pioneering work on that publication was more than a decade in his rear-view mirror at the time). Alas, it didn't turn out to be a very funny year, and the shelf life of this little book (which seems to have hit the stalls around late January 1968, its 1967 copyright date notwithstanding) was rather brutally cut short when assassins gunned down Martin Luther King Jr. (April 4) and Bobby Kennedy (June 5). King is depicted twice in the book (once with LBJ, once with Hubert Humphrey) and Kennedy six times -- plus the unfortunate front cover shot, which shows him apparently shoving the side of a young girl's face.
