“The Pick of Punch, a heady, sparkling but full-bodied product resulting from Nicolas Bentley’s double-distilling activities, is particularly recommended for occasions such as Christmas, birthdays, non-birthdays and April 1^st.  Once again the contributors show themselves expert in the more irreverent forms of spoof and satire.  They include Alex Atkinson, Claud Cockburn, J. B. Boothroyd, Paul Dehn, H. F. Ellis, Andre Francois, Stella Gibbons, David Langdon, Gwyn Thomas and Ronald Searle.”
