The New Yorker Encyclopedia of Cartoons: A Semi-Serious A-To-Z Archive
This monumental, two-volume, slip-cased collection includes nearly 10 decades worth of New Yorker cartoons selected and organized by subject with insightful commentary by Bob Mankoff and a foreword by David Remnick. The is the most ingenious collection of New Yorker cartoons published in book form, The New Yorker Encyclopedia of Cartoons is a prodigious, slip-cased, two-volume, 1,600-page A-to-Z curation of cartoons from the magazine from 1924 to the present. Mankoff -- for two decades the cartoon editor of the New Yorker -- organizes nearly 3,000 cartoons into more than 250 categories of recurring New Yorker themes and visual tropes, including cartoons on banana peels, meeting St. Peter, being stranded on a desert island, snowmen, lion tamers, Adam and Eve, the Grim Reaper, and dogs, of course. The result is hilarious and Mankoff's commentary throughout adds both depth and whimsy. The collection also includes a foreword by New Yorker editor David Remnick. This is stunning gift for the millions of New Yorker readersand anyone looking for some humor in the evolution of social commentary.

This is supposed to be a TWO volume set A to Z archive, in a slipcase. Instead, I got only Vol II L to Z, with obviously no slipcase. There is a form for returns of incorrect items, but it says this is "not eligible." What? It's the wrong or incomplete thing! I would not order this if I were you. It's going to be a headache, as customer service is not available on the weekends, so you will.have to take time out of your week, probably during your lunch hour, to call them and try to get this resolved. This feels like an intentional bait and switch.
