I actually got memed into buying an a physical copy of this, the first 50 or so pages are genuinely good and set up an interesting premise, but then it gets old fast before picking up again around page 200. I'd say it's worth reading, but don't expect any of the plot to resolve.

This is just juvenile with no real point to it other than to mock some elements of postmodernism, but offering not improvement.

The book has a bunch of unique 'inserts', I don't think the shipping is ever referenced again. A more accurate impression would be the first page or so, as in:

It's a 400-page comedy book written by an unknown number of authors, each one of them leaving their mark. It's like it was written by a spastic with a hundred warring personalities.

I own one. I read about half of it and it was interesting in some ways then I got bored and moved on to something else. I mostly got it because I think it'd be interesting to look back at it in twenty years when 4chan and this entire style of humor is so dated that it became lame and unfunny then moved back out of it into nostalgia.
I also get a kick out of it whenever somebody looks over my bookshelf, sees it between legitimate classics, and calls it a cool collection with no idea what's in the one book they don't recognize.

Without a doubt, the greatest work of meta-post-postmodernism of our time.
