By 1967 Topps was cranking out all sorts of interesting non-sports sets, many of which featured the sarcastic tone that was the hallmark of the MAD magazine fueled artists and writers working under the aegis of Woody Gelman. One of the more amusing sets to emerge from this creative be-in was Dopey Books.
Comprised of 42 foldable cards on thin stock, which measure the standard 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" when closed, the set closely follows the pattern seen here of a serious looking cover...
...containing a snotty gag within, centerfolded, with an accompanying humorous illustration.:
The set may have been rushed into the marketplace, based upon the wrapper. Many look like this:
Note the lack of a commodity code! Those were firmly in place by 1967 but Topps goofed this one up. There's not a ton of wrappers out there but I found this guy, folded like this just for online sale:
I ran this Magic Magnet anomaly by Friend o'the Archive Lonnie Cummins, who thinks it likely that all wrapper variants should exist with and without the code. Right now, two of the three others (Chemical Magic comes both ways) should eventually also be found with it. Time will tell if the Camera and Exploding Battleship versions also come both ways but it seems like a good bet. Weird, but wrappers from the set are scarce for some odd reason, especially since the cards can be found somewhat easily.
The box and contents presented well, noting the torn Valentine sticker indicates it was repurposed for 1968 "VD Season":
Here's another box with that added sticker:
