Product Description
This stunning and cutting-edge package provides access to the world as reflected in its most influential and respected newspaper. From wars and political assassinations to social movements and space exploration, all the news that is fit to print—or download—can be found in this extraordinary book-and-DVD set.
More than 300 of the most significant New York Times front pages have been carefully selected and beautifully reproduced in the book. Read the headlines and stories covering such world-changing events as Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Ten foldouts present twenty key front pages at their magnificent full size. News summaries throughout highlight the most significant events of each era and put the front pages into a historical context. Seventeen insightful essays by prominent Times writers comment on pivotal moments, including "The End of Slavery" by William Safire, "Women’s Suffrage" by Gail Collins, and "The Age of Television" by Frank Rich.
The 3 DVDs include each of the 54,266 front pages printed by the Times over the past 157 years. Completely searchable and user-friendly, the disks are designed to provide access to the full stories that made front-page news each day since the paper’s founding in 1851. Click on a page—the day you were born, for example—and you're instantly transported to the Times' online archive.
The New York Times: The Complete Front Pages is the ultimate gift for history buffs, news junkies, students, and anyone who strives to be well-informed.
DVD-ROMs run on a PC (Windows 2000/XP or later) or Mac (OSX I0.4.8 or later) with Adobe 8.o or later. Free download available on the DVD-ROMs.

 The New York times book January 8, 2009
I ordered this book for my husband for Christmas and was pleased it arrived in a timely manner.
I'm disappointed that the 1st part of the book can only be read by a magnifying glass, (though I understand that's the type the papers were using at the time )
My husband loves the book so mission accomplished.

 Print to fine to read January 6, 2009
The video that came with this book was ok. However, the book is in such fine print you are unable to make any words out. Not worth the $$$$.
Excellent collection January 6, 2009
We bought this awesome book for our son who immediately upon receiving it looked for the most important headlines in the last 50 years. A great book!
 a good premise, but doesn't live up to expectations January 6, 2009
I wanted to review day by day the great depression, and other historical events. Looking page by page was interesting, but not great. The pages are a little hard to read with ease both on the C/D's and in the book........and only being allowed to look at the first page printed per day was just a little incomplete as to details....yet, I did spend a pleasant afternoon with this product
