Over dit e-boek

Gagged and Bound is a riotous, rapid-fire collection of over 500 original gags written by pun-loving jokesmith Nick Jones. With a mixture of witty one-liners, playful puns and dubious dad jokes, coupled with some great visual gags illustrated by Tiffany Sheely, Gagged and Bound will leave you grinning like a maniac – so probably best not to read it while travelling on public transport. "It’s what it says on the tin: a succession of one-liners, puns and dad jokes going at your laughing muscles in a joyously pell-mell, headlong way. It’s irresistible." - The Bookbag 

"I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a joke book that’s varied and full of easy one-liners." - Reader’s Favorite 

"This is a very funny book" - Red City Review 

Jokes include: 

When I’m in the kitchen with my wife and I ask her for the sieve, she always throws it at me. She’s pass-sieve aggressive. 

What happens when herbs get into debt? They receive a visit from the bay leaf. 

Every dog has its day. It’s called International Dog Day. 

I’ve written a self-help book for people trying to lose weight but it hasn’t been very successful. It’s called Help Yourself.

Over de auteur

A proofreader and copywriter by trade, Nick Jones spends a lot of time working with words. But all work and no wordplay would make Nick a dull boy, so to redress the balance, Nick likes to write jokes in his spare time. 

His first joke book, Gagged and Bound, was written during the summer of 2014 and was published by Full Media Ltd later in the year. A follow-up, Gagged and Bound 2, is in the pipeline and will be published in 2015. Described by one reviewer as a 'master gagsmith', his joke style is heavily pun-based and has been compared to Tim Vine, Milton Jones and Stewart Francis. 

Originally from Bristol, UK, Nick now lives in Congleton, UK, with his wife, son and three cats.
