Thought this would be an ideal gift for my son-in -law who likes not only the country but the history and politics of the U.S.
The book is fanastic. front page news is always a great read. Ideal as a point of reference as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Improved Over 2008 Edition 29 Oct 2009
By gglennwill - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Despite the fact that the New York Times is not my favorite paper with its liberal bias, I am also a history buff, and I love old newspapers and magazines. So last Christmas I ran out and bought the 2008 edition. Although enjoyable, it was missing several months (including my daughters birth month of Septmeber 1994, to my disappointment), and trying to read many of the older issues was very difficult.

I'm happy to report that the 2009 edition not only includes the missing months, but to my surprise many of the more difficult papers to read have somehow been "cleaned up". I don't know how they did it, but i just compared the Sept 24 1851 paper in the two editions and it's like night and day, much easier to read in the new edition. Also as in the old edition you can easily access the NYT archive to continue reading a front page article or read the articles in the other pages of that newspaper. A very nice feature.

If you were disappointed with the 2008 edition, I would recommend getting this revised edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning DVDs, but still missing front pages 10 Nov 2009
By Charles Peiffer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The DVD's are amzing, but despite the improvement some front pages seem to be missing : The Western editions of February and March 1963 (during a strike), despite the fact that articles exist for those dates according to the New York Times archives. Still, wonderful product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great survey of history 11 May 2010
By J.R. Yannelli - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't care what your political bend is, but this presentation by the New York Times is awesome. Looking at front pages from the civil war, world war I and II, landing on the moon, 9/11 and so forth is amazing. What a coffee table addition. This book is beautifully layed out and a pleasure to scan at any time. The online links to stories are great. I have no regrets buying this book, it is a keepsake for all times.
