THE NEW YORKER BOOK OF MONEY CARTOONS

THE INFLUENCE, POWER AND OCCASIONAL INSANITY OF MONEY IN OUR LIVES

edited by Robert Mankoff

introduction by Christopher Buckley

If money makes the world the world go round why does it also make our personal worlds go mad, spinning them around and even hurling them out of orbit?

Money (and the lack of it) can make us feel happy, sad, elated, stressed, crazed and a whole host of other emotions. Now money can also make us giggle, chuckle, chortle, snigger, and laugh out loud as its power and influence on our livves - and its occasional insanity - is brought to life in the pages of The New Yorker Book of Money Cartoons.

This delightful collection about the role of money in our everyday lives features 110 classic cartoons from the artists of The New Yorker - well-known and much-loved cartoonists such as Charles Addams, George Booth, J.B. Handelsman and Edward Koren. The wit within its pages will tickle - and often inform - everyone in all walks of life.

Robert Mankoff is a "triple-threat" in cartooning. He is a very successful cartoonist who has published six previous books including E-mail This Book. He is founder and president of The Cartoon Bank and is also the cartoon editor of The New Yorker.

Christopher Buckley is a regular contributor to The New Yorker, is the co-author of God is My Broker, published in paperback by Nicholas Brealey Publishing and the author of Wry Martinis, Thank You for Smoking and Little Green Men.
