This book and three DVD-ROM collection captures every front page from The New York Times, recalling 157 years of world-changing events and news that "The Gray Lady" deemed fit to print. The book has more than 300 of the most significant Page Ones, faithfully reproduced right down to the bolded headlines in Cheltenham typeface and honorific style that are the hallmarks of The Times' staid presentation. It begins with the first issue, published on September 18, 1851, and readers can trace the history of the U.S. and the world chronologically until March 19, 2008, using the same headlines, running text, and photographs that The Times printed that day. Twenty landmark dates, including Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the iconic "MEN WALK ON MOON" headline, and the September 11th terrorist attacks are presented in foldout, full-size pages. The DVD-ROMs contain 54,267 front pages in PDF format, indexed by date and easily browsable with the click of a mouse. Hardcover; 456 pages.
