In 1988, a band of UW–Madison undergrads and dropouts started a free weekly newspaper with no editorial stance other than "You Are Dumb." They accidentally became the bedrock of American satire. This lot includes two books about that story. "Our Dumb Century" is The Onion at its most iconic — signed by Todd Hanson, the paper's original head writer and the man who shaped its voice for decades.

"Funny Because It's True" by Christine Wenc — herself an original Onion staffer — is the first full history of how those Madison misfits changed the way America consumes comedy and news. (Value 2 books $50)
