The New Yorker on the 75th Anniversary

This rendition codifies 75 years of cartoon caricatures in the New Yorker. The work is an important contribution to our culture since it documents journalistic humor in a sequential and interesting fashion. The research contained in this acquisition would take many years to accomplish except for the monumental work of the editorial staff which produced this 75th Anniversary Edition. Classic cartoons are depicted; namely, - Windshear - Dealmobile - Parallel Universe - The End of Innocence - Climbing Mt. Everest There are over 69T cartoon entries- a list too exhaustive to mention here. This volume would be a perfect gift for the art/cultural enthusiast in your home. It is reasonably priced and well written. The cartoons tell much about the historical context surrounding the creation of each cartoon witicism.

Un libro para iniciarse en las viñetas de New Yorker

Este libro es muy adecuado para introducirse en el estupendo mundo de las viñetas del New Yorker. Me fue posible aquí descubrir un montón de autores esenciales para esa publicación y que son de una calidad excelente. Inteligencia y verdadero ingenio están muy extendidos en las páginas de este libro. Lo recomiendo vivamente.

Excellent collection

I have long enjoyed Bob Mankoff's taste in cartoons, and was excited to find he was the editor behind this book. Through The Cartoon Bank (and now The New Yorker magazine), he has done a great job bringing cartoons to the public, and this book serves as another excellent result of his efforts. For fans of The New Yorker's cartoons, this book is a must buy.

The New Yorker 75th Anniversary Cartoon Collection

Since we already own several anthologies of New Yorker cartoons, and have always subscribed to the New Yorker I really didn't anticipate that I would find anything really "new" in this collection. I was, however, rather surprised when looking through the book after I gave it to my son as a hanukah gift at the selection of cartoons. Mankoff has come up with a timeless collection--one that shows us that real humor crosses over decades and generations. How he managed to choose these cartoons, I do not know, but I imagine he had to go through thousands and thousands of cartoons, and make thousands of decisions that no cartoonist or cartoon lover would want to have to make. The newer cartoons (those by Roz Chast and her contemporaries) are destined to be classics. I am so glad that we bought it.

You'll find your all-time favorite here.

Finally -- one book with many all-time favorite New Yorker cartoons!! This book has cartoons from "way back when" until the current time. Cartoons are a fascinating way to look at the history of the world and this book has the best of the best!!
