The Aberdeen Jew - Antisemitic Jokes Booklet - London 1927 - The Aberdeen Jew, by Allan Junior. Illustrated by Gregor McGregor. Dundee and London: Valentine & Sons, 1927. Sixth edition (first edition is also from 1927). A collection of jokes about the Jew living in the city of Aberdeen. The introduction jokingly states that some believe that there are no Jews at all in Aberdeen, the ”Granite City” in Scotland, but in fact there is one Jew there named Isaac Levi. For a while he called himself by a Christian name and wore a kilt, but the police caught up with him and arrested him because ”his nose gave him away.” It is also written that Levi, like many Jews, likes to joke at the expense of his own people. Includes many illustrations. English, 36 pp., 22X16 cm. Good condition, a few stains.
