Book Reviews of The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker
Book Review: Amazing. Best buy ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: Great collection
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker" is a wonderful collection of consistently funny cartoons that, more times than not, make us laugh at our own short-sightedness and habits. My only complaint, and the only reason I didn't give this five stars, is that the resolution of the images on the included DVD-ROM is not that great. In some cases, it's a bit difficult to catch the "sight gag" in the illustration- unacceptable. Too bad- a little more care in this department would have made this a near-perfect volume.Book Review: Low resolution?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no idea what the other reviewers who see a "low resolution" image are talking about. The cartoons on the CD in PDF format and anyone who can run Adobe Reader can easily increase the zoom level. The pics are quite clear in all their glorious hilarity. The introductions for each decade are basic but to "get" some of the puns, one may need to research a bit into the parlance of that era especially those of us born a generation or two after the publication date.Book Review: The Immortal New Yorker Cartoons
Summary: 5 Stars
For those thinking of brightening up somebody's day for the years to come (provided that person has a sense of humor) this book falls nothing short of perfect. Rich with history (and a great intro.; despite what others might say) that special someone's coffee table will forever be the sanctuary of the party when things start to mellow down. Must buy!Book Review: A Laugh a Page!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must-have for every family that needs a laugh. We put it on a central hall table and our guests would stop, pick it up and laugh. Soon everyone was in the hall reading over someone else's shoulder. There's something in this book for every sense of humor--silly, cynical, creative, political, green, artistic and more.
