Christiern Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 New Yorker is apparently discontinuing its DVD collection of complete scans. I bought this a couple of years back when the price was $99 (I found it for $79). This is a great set and nothing has been left out, it's all here, every page, ads and all. Don't pass this one up! http://www.thenewyorkerstore.com/product_d...=TNYS-Customers Quote
Adam Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, I guess they will just put it all online, the latest update is 1.3, and it too has a note saying that it will be the last update. New Yorker DVD 1.3 Quote
Christiern Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 I can understand why they won't continue. This was a great magazine until Tina Brown all but destroyed it. The 1925-2005 issues are all you need to get a wonderful flavor of the "upper crust" NY scee as it once was, and the Whitney Balliett pieces alone are worth the $19. Hell, the ads are worth it. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for the tug at the leg. I finally ordered it. I see no reason to buy the update for stuff after 2005. Quote
blajay Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks Chris. Even if it is going to be all available online, it seems like a great thing to have. I ordered one for my brother's birthday coming up. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 An attractive offer - but $60 international shipping is pretty steep. Damn ! What do they do, line the shipping box in ermine? Quote
ejp626 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Not sure what the price was back in Feb., but with some careful navigation you can now get the 1925-2005 version for $20 or 1925-2008 for $40. I opted for the first case. Still sort of pondering whether the (last) update DVD is worth it for 2005-2008, but at $20 the answer is probably no. Now a book just of the Seymour Hersh investigations beyond 2005, that would be worth it. Looks like his Chain of Command was published in 2004, so it stops short (not that I shouldn't get it anyway -- if my blood pressure can tolerate it, that is). BTW, there is a coupon for 15% off anything at the site (probably good for about a month): CATV515 and here is one for 20% (through Friday Oct. 2) but it may only activate if you have bought previously: CLEANUP20 Shipping is still a bit steep as noted.
