    • New Yorker short stories
Format: Hardcover
I found this purchase such a bargain that I purchased two books. One for me and one for a dear friend. My hope is that we both can read the short stories and write back and forth. I live in NJ and he lives in PA. However, reader be aware, most New Yorker short stories are downers. I read the first story and family pet dog dies. Just so you know, the New Yorker prides it self in not liking feel good literature. LOL. The books arrived on time and in excellent condition. ... show more

    • A wonderful collection
Format: Hardcover
The book contains a variety of short stories by authors from all different eras from the New Yorker's gloried past, and altho they all include a dog in some way, they're not "doggie stories" but are more sophisticated and varied than that. And of course there are some cartoons mixed in as well. A great book for any reading dog lover. ... show more

    • Dogs, Dogs, and more Dogs!
Format: Hardcover
Bought as a gift, but I read it first. You've got to really love dogs to enjoy this whole book, or maybe read a chapter here and there over the course of a few months, but it's all dog, and that's alot of dog!! Still, some very touching stuff, some just cute, others quite a stretch to be amusing and/or interesting. Older articles, which evidently were once the talk of the town, seem horribly dated (e.g. Thurber to me has always been a mystery.) But each to his own. If you adore dogs, you will at least enjoy most of this book. ... show more

    • Dogs and The New Yorker, a great combination
Format: Hardcover
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! ... show more

    • Lots of short stories about dogs
Format: Kindle
This is the most expensive kindle book I own. I just think $19.99 is to expensive. As a dog lover I thought this book was for me. Some of the stories were good but some were a bit dull.

    • Good Book, Wrong Format
Format: Kindle
I've thoroughly enjoyed the short stories and cartoons in this book so I'm not going to ding it on content. But I do have a tip: don't get the Kindle version. It really doesn't lend itself very well to Kindle, it's more of a book to thumb through stopping here and there when something catches your eye. To really see the cartoons you'll need to use the Kindle app on a computer or iPad, they're not so great in small black & white. At this point I'm not going to spring for a hard copy but I'm really sorry I didn't get that in the first place. ... show more

    • Fun for dog lovers
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful coffee table book which dog lovers will enjoy. Full of fine New Yorker cartoons, and it has most of the classic Thurber dog stories (as well as many of his dog cartoons). Some very interesting articles - especially loved the one on the "Dog Whisperer" Cesar giving his life as well as lots of tips on handling dogs (which work, I found out). Beautifully bound and printed, its great for browsing. One cavil - its size makes it a little awkward for bed reading. ... show more

    • For dog lovers lovers.
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book as a gift for a lady who loves dogs. She loved the book. That made me extremely happy. She's happy that I am happy. Christmas, birthday, anniversary, or any other occasion for which a gift is appropriate, the dog lover will be pleased -- which is a good reason for giving this book. And if it's really appreciated, she may even let you read it when she has finished reading it (if you promise to give it back after you have read it). ... show more
