5.0 out of 5 stars Urbane and Witty -- As One Would Expect
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015
Verified Purchase
The New Yorker and quality cartoons go hand in hand. If you are of an literary mind at all, you will love this collection. All of the New Yorkers greatest cartoonists are collected here From Roz Chast to James Thurber. I won't reveal any punchlines, but I will atate that are all urbane and sophisticated as one would expect. My only complaint is that it is a bit on the short side. Atill worth the price.

This one is a literary lover's delight. Couldn't resist reading straight through the book although I wanted to go slowly in order to savor every page.
I recommend it to anyone who loves books and loves to laugh. It's a winner.

The New Yorker cartoons just can't be beat! They're amusing without being juvenile. This would make a great book for lovers of literature who have all the other books.

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2014

Well, they are New Yorker cartoons and as such, as usual, interesting. This is, however, not the best book to get. If, like me, you are not particularly literary, you will want a broader version in Mankoff other book. Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heel grappig
Reviewed in the Netherlands on March 27, 2024

Als je van literatuur houdt, maar het niet erg vindt als de literaire wereld op de hak wordt genomen, is dit een perfecte verzameling cartoons. Het is wel al wat ouder boek, dus fenomenen als ebooks of de nieuwste schrijvers komen er niet in voor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nicht so mein Fall
Reviewed in Germany on May 7, 2021
Verified Purchase
Der Preis ist schön ein wenig happig. Das Buch besteht bloß aus schwarzweißen Bildern, nur wenige davon gefallen mir. Es scheint so, als ob der Illustrator sich nicht wirklich Mühe mit Zeichnungen gemacht hätte. Kommt jedenfalls lieblos rüber.
Ich aboniere The New Yorker auf Instagram und die Covers, die ich dort kostenlos betrachten darf unterscheiden sich gewaltig von den Zeichnungen dieses Buches.
Humor ist auch nicht so ganz meins!
Für einen Preis von unter 10 € wäre es vielleicht noch in Ordnung, aber 12 € für kaum Inhalt und solche lustlose „Witze“, werde es zurückschicken

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality
Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
The paper and the print are very poor quality. The cartoon prints are like low resolution magnified images. It is not pleasurable to hold in hand or to read. They could have charged a few dollars more and made a proper book. Do not buy it as a gift, no one will consider this a good gift.
