The New Yorker Book of Golf Cartoons FROM THE PUBLISHER
A hilarious hole in one! Golfers are, to say the least, dedicated (some would argue certifiable) and these cartoons bring out the best of the humor of the game—from its triumphs to its frustrations. The New Yorker 's cartoon editor Bob Mankoff has selected the very best golf cartoons for this book from the magazine's amazing artists. And the best of The New Yorker means cartoonists like Charles Addams, Peter Arno, George Booth, Roz Chast, Edward Koren, and William Steig. George Plimpton has theorized on sports books that "the smaller the ball, the better the book." He was commenting on prose, but this fabulous collection proves his theory true for cartoons as well.
Author Biography: Robert Mankoff is the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, president of The Cartoon Bank, and a wonderful cartoonist (with a lousy handicap). He has published numerous collections of his own work and is the editor of eight collections of New Yorker cartoons.
