Charles Saxon 9 X for The New York Times

In 1961, a portfolio of nine cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Charles Saxon was given to booksellers as a promotion for the New York Times Book Review. The photos, taken by an eBay seller, don't show all the cartoons and crop out parts of some captions, but they're still worth a look.

9 X Saxon

"Mrs. Hartung asks that questions be restricted to
non-recent books. She wishes to avoid saying anything
that might adversely affect any work in current release."

"Mrs. Hartung asks that questions be restricted to

that might adversely affect any work in current release."

"This isn't one of those non-books, is it?"

"All I know about her is that I keep seeing in
acknowledgments that she helps make books possible."

"I wonder if you could suggest something to wean me
away from Jack Paar."

"This just kills me. A note to myself to read
'To The Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf, and I
can't remember why!"

"This isn't one of those non-books, is it?"
