The book is divided into two parts.
The first part is a preface which is smart, irreverant, iconoclastic, insightful, erudite, and stupid. It is very amusing and a wonderful read.
The second part is a series of aphorisms, presumably meant, tongue-in-cheek, to represent Americans' beliefs, spoken and unspoken. It is too topical to hold up 92 years later. About half the references are nearly unintelligible to modern audiences. A large number of the intelligible references contradict the beliefs of modern Americans. All in all, reading the second part is like trying to read and eat 488 92-year-old, smart ass fortune cookies.
