This was a pretty interesting subject search. A young woman in pursuit of material for her research paper (junior college level, I'd guess) asked for a book on sarcasm. That's a fairly broad topic to search under, and I had only moderate success by suggesting we look in the 808s and biographies of Don Rickles and the like. I did have book on irony, however, and since irony is close to sarcasm, and using the right tone, irony can be delivered sarcastically, I thought it was worth a look. The book is called The Big Book of Irony by Jon Winokur. Ironically, it's a very small book.
