2.The Complete Cartoons of the New YorkerThe Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker
from Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers
Price: $11.98

Customer Review:
"The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker" is a wonderful collection of consistently funny cartoons that, more times than not, make us laugh at our own short-sightedness and habits. My only complaint, and the only reason I didn't give this five stars, is that the resolution of the images on the... more info

3.Angels and Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern LifeAngels and Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life
from Knopf
Price: $10.00

Customer Review:
In contrast to the reviewers who hate Gopnik's writing, I think it stands among the best I have ever read.
His paragraphs often bring you to a full stop at the end where you have to catch a mental breath to fully absorb what he said. Amusingly, his comments about Lincoln's speaking style are... more info

5.Les Miserables (Modern Library)Les Miserables (Modern Library)
from Modern Library
Price: $17.15

Customer Review:
This is a magnificent translation of a magnificent novel. On all fronts readers will be rewarded with a double-act: the monumental achievements of Victor Hugo's writing and Julie Rose's translation. Critics have likened Hugo's book to a "cathedral", an "ocean". My first impression of Les... more info

6.The Best American Essays 2008The Best American Essays 2008
from Mariner Books
Price: $0.99

Customer Review:
Among the twenty-one essays in The Best American Essays by Adam Gopnik, there were some bad, some good and those in between. My personal favorite is tough to name. I quite skeptically read each essay, not knowing if I would actually consider what I was reading as among "The Best" of a given year.... more info

Customer Review:
A century after its debut, Le Grand Meaulnes by Alain-Fournier stands as a classic not only of early 20th century French literature but also of the universal theme of adolescence as a lightening rod for restlessness, passionate energy, Romantic vision, the search for meaning and love, and the... more info

Customer Review:
This is a great book of photographs. Beautifully made and printed, and Joel Sternfeld truly is one of the best art photographers working today. The book is small, with only 24 images, but each one is worth savoring and going back to over and over again. The new version has information about the... more info
