I am a sucker for most things that deal with dogs, and then add the New Yorker, makes for a witty, sly, funny combination. Everything in this book is sourced from the monumental material printed over the years from the New Yorker, a treasure trove of all things smart, funny, socially relevant. Some of the best cartoons on social commentary ever printed come from the New Yorker, and the best cartoons about dogs and our relationship with them. (My favourite cartoon is by Charles Addams, page 247, few are better than he.) It also contains wonderful essays by John Cheever, Ronald Dahl, Ogden Nash, Anne Sexton and many others. A great addition for any book lover, or gift for a dog lover, and if you are both, even better!

Flipping through this book, it becomes quite clear that the New Yorker is a time capsule of sorts. Look through a copy of The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs and you'll see what I mean.
Beyond that, who can't love cartoons about man's best friend? Add to that great essays by some of the nation's best thinkers and you have a winner.
I looked at this in a bookstore and read a great deal of it. Wouldn't this make a great Christmas gift? Hint! Hint! Hint!
Peace to all.
