Sophisticated humor at its best

I bought this book because last year I bought a New Yorker cartoons page-a-day calendar and enjoyed all 365 days of thought-provoking, timely humor. When my book arrived, I decided to savor the humor by reading four pages of cartoons every night before bed; sometimes, my husband thinks I'm going to bust a gut laughing.

The included CD is fabulous, and allows you to search for cartoons by topic and keyword. Type in "therapist," and you'll find some of the wittiest commentary you'll ever see on the topic. Cartoons on the disc are printable, and as a result, may result in my office needing a much bulletin board.

This book is a gem and a chronicle--in humor--of the American Zeitgeist of the last 80 years.

Amazing. Best buy ever!!!

I just bought this book(the hard cover version) and think it's brilliant. The book itself is quite large but it's packed with cartoons from 8 decades. I like the fact that you have a real solid book. I've read some of the reviews about people complaining about the size of the book but unless you don't intend to read it while you're on the toilet, it is perfect for reading on a table or even your lap.
The quality of the CDs are good as well. I don't know what everybody is complaining about. The book WITHOUT the CDs is worth much more than what I paid for. Having 2 CDs with over 68000(!!!) additional cartoons included make it the best book I ever bought.

A word on 'New Yorker cartoons'

How many times have I looked at a New Yorker cartoon and burst out laughing, and then thinking about this understood that the cartoon perfectly embodies a current mood, or social fashion or foible. Witty, sophisticated, insightful. But the laughter given in a moment does not lend itself to unending, endless repetition. Reading through Cartoons like this cover to cover is a different experience from catching one rare one at a time.
A good chunk of American social history is in these cartoons, but perhaps most importantly many are miniature pieces of brilliance , and delight.
Thus the recommendation. Dip in and dip out, enjoy here and there what happens to catch the eye. Forget the misses, and there are misses, whether through being made stale by Time or not. There is enough really good stuff here not to be disappointed.

Good for many laughs

I am really happy that I purchased this "Collectible" for myself. My friends go through it whenever they visit me. Excellent humor and I just ordered the "Reject" version. Cartoons go back to the 1920s. Wonderful book for many ages.

More than a book, this is a bona fide publishing event. The largest-ever collection of New Yorker cartoons features the best of every decade in book form, plus two easy-to-browse CDs--Windows and Macintosh compatible--with every cartoon ever published in the magazine--more than 68,000 of them!

Since its founding in the 1920s, The New Yorker has had a profound cultural impact on the country and the world, and has almost singlehandedly elevated the cartoon to an art form. For the first time ever, EVERY cartoon ever published in The New Yorker is collected in one place.

Accompanying the cartoons in the book, several thousand of them organized chronologically, are essays by eminent New Yorker writers reflecting on the life and times (and sense of humor) of each successive decade. Additionally, each decade includes profiles and mini-portfolios of the cartoonists who made their marks on the era, from Peter Arno and Charles Addams to Bruce Eric Kaplan and Roz Chast. "Theme" features cover such subjects as Drinking, The Depression, and Politics.

The two accompanying CDs feature every cartoon ever published in the magazine in a format that is accessible on any home computer and is browsable by date, cartoonist, subject, and more. This groundbreaking book, several years in the making, has been lovingly compiled by current New Yorker cartoon editor (and respected cartoonist and author) Robert Mankoff, and the foreword is by David Remnick, the magazine's esteemed editor.
