"The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons by Bob Eckstein is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late March.
Ahaaaa, I had thought this book would be a chronological compilation of the best cartoons, but, no, it’s a series of different single-panel cartoons themed around books, i.e. writing, books, reading books, and going to a bookstore. ….Hrmm. Niche-y, but kinda sweet and smart, though it does seem like a book you’d put together while writing something else."

The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons Bob Eckstein 9781616898045 Books Reviews
- If you are an avid reader or book lover, you will relate to the cartoons that Bob Eckstein has collected in The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons by the World's Greatest Cartoonists. Eckstein features several dozen cartoonists whose cartoons have appeared in various publications. The New Yorker magazine is where most of these originated. If you have an idea of the style of the cartoons they publish, then you have an idea of this book.
Several themes show up throughout the book. The quirky interactions of author appearances and book signings. The loss of the traditional bookstores, either to online retailers or to "bookstores" that sell all manner of things besides books. The struggles of the lives of authors and editors. The lifestyle of someone who simply likes to read.
As Eckstein writes in the introduction, "Long live books, bookstores, and cartoons!" Book lovers understand.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy! - From the publisher
Description
This exuberant collection of cartoons is an enthusiastic love letter to books and bookstores. The cartoons celebrate and critique the literary world through the work of thirty-three of the masters of cartoon art, including Sam Gross, Roz Chast, Arnie Levin, Danny Shanahan, Peter Steiner, Mick Stevens, Nick Downes, Liza Donnelly, Bob Mankoff, and Michael Maslin. Many of the cartoons have been published in the New Yorker, while others are published here for the first time.
I agree with the description above. I think that those of us who enjoy all things book and publishing related will enjoy the humor in this collection. I know that I did!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for helping me to smile! The opinions are my own. - 3.5 stars rounded up. I enjoyed the cartoons about books in this 'ultimate' collection. The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons (can we get a more redundant title?) stayed interesting because over 25 cartoonists and different styles were featured.
There were lots of smiles, but no roaring LOL moments where I disturbed others on the plane. Some cartoons were amusing, some VERY clever, some probably went over my head. One frame cartoons covered the reading world from authors to publishing to book groups to book stores. It was fun to bookmark some favorites and I keep going back to them.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for granting access to an arc of this book for an honest review. - The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons by Bob Eckstein is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late March.
Ahaaaa, I had thought this book would be a chronological compilation of the best cartoons, but, no, it’s a series of different single-panel cartoons themed around books, i.e. writing, books, reading books, and going to a bookstore. ….Hrmm. Niche-y, but kinda sweet and smart, though it does seem like a book you’d put together while writing something else. - This book of cartoons about books pokes fun at readers and non-readers alike. Comics range from depicting book-stores where employees panic at trying to find a book among tote bags, CDs, and stationary, to book clubs where members gossip about the "promiscuity" of another member who is in at least five other book clubs. From comics that joke about authors like Poe and Hemingway, to those just starting out. It is a fun, quick read that delights the inner bookworm.
- Clever cartoons that send up everything from book clubs to ebook readers to author signings. I hadn't seen any of these before so that was fun. Most just made me smile a bit - the only one that actually made me laugh was the Poe one.
I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. Thank you! - An enjoyable and fun to read collection of comics about books and readers.
I loved them and it was great to read this collection.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC - A highly entertaining collection of book and author related cartoons by familiar cartoonists. Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
