To celebrate their success, and what they call their “crackerjack reporting”, The Onion is releasing The Onion: Our Front Pages ($19). The book

will house some of the best headlines to include “Clever bumper Stickers Resolve Abortion Issue” and “Last Literate Person On Earth Is Dead At 98.” Over the years they’ve done amazing work in making us see things for what they really are, and getting under the skin of topics that some companies and higher ups would rather people just forget. But that’s not how The Onion operates.

The book will take a look back at this Wisconsin-based company’s humble beginnings and their climb into pop culture icon. With over 300 pages of witty humor and outrageous articles, there’s plenty of humor to keep you busily flipping the pages.
