No Pun Intended: Volume Too is an artifact that can be found in The Last of Us and the DLC Left Behind. In The Last of US, it is obtained in the chapter "Lakeside Resort". It is one of Ellie's personal belongings and is already in her backpack at the start of the chapter. In Left Behind, Riley gives the book to Ellie in the chapter "Fun and Games"

Blurb

On the back of the book in Left Behind, a blurb summarizes the contents.

His writing is like his pencils...Short + sharp. Get ready to chuckle, chortle and maybe groan a little with the second handy pun book by comedian Will Livingston. Be the life of any party! Or perhaps the death of it. We accept no blame for cracked ribs, stitched sides or rolled eyes.
