Bookseller Reviews

Bob Mankoff has the job we all want. As New Yorker cartoon editor, he's entitled to spend most of his working hours dawdling over those visual pleasures we can peruse only on weekends or in nervous transit. Now, as if justify his prize job, he's compiled a treasury of 104 literary cartoons which demonstrate that, in the hands of great cartoonists, even Great Literature can make you smile.
