In what seems to me to be a brilliant move, New Yorker Books is offering THE COMPLETE NEW YORKER book and DVD set for 100 dollars. According to the New Yorker Books website, “The Complete New Yorker covers The New Yorker’s entire history, from February 1925 to February 2005, the magazine’s 80th anniversary, providing a detailed yet panoramic history of the life of the city, the nation, and the world during the most exciting and astounding decades any society has ever known.” Please, somebody get this for me for my birthday (which will be shortly after the set is released in September). The DVDs will be usable both on Windows (2000 and XP) and on Macs (OS X 10.3 and higher).

Note that the set, which would be a bargain even at the list price of $100, can be had for much less on Amazon.
