A Special Message From Bob Mankoff...

Dear Cartoon Bank Member,

As I write this, an early shipment of The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker is being wheeled into my office - yikes! They just wheeled them over my foot. Not a problem, because I'll be personally signing them with my hand for anyone who purchases them before September 30.

I wanted to give Cartoon Bank Members a personal, finishing touch on this the most ambitious cartoon book of any kind that has ever been published. It's taken us over two years and 6,000 hours of scanning, proofing and keywording to create it.

Frankly, all this cost a lot of money. The accountants and bean counters suggested we therefore charge a lot of money for the book. I vetoed this. I wanted as many people as possible to own this book, so we're charging the absolute, absolute minimum possible-$60 with free shipping on this ten pound book which, believe me is anything but free for us to ship.

The Cartoon Bank is the first place to carry this landmark collection consisting of a stunning 11 x 13 inch hard cover book filled with over 2,000 cartoons organized by year and decade, which provide an unparalleled picture of how American society and its humor have changed over the past 80 years. The book includes an introduction by David Remnick and also features introductions for each decade by such New Yorker literary luminaries as John Updike, Roger Angell and Lillian Ross. The two CDs accompanying the book include all 68,647 cartoons ever published in the magazine and can be easily viewed and searched.

And all this can be yours - signed, sealed and delivered -  if, as they say, you act now or at least, nowish.

Go here to order The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker, signed, for just $60.

Yours in Good Humor

Bob Mankoff
President
