I happened to run into him at Isotope Comics when he was picking up his weekly books and I saw he was holding a very nice looking hardcover. He removed the book from its slipcase and showed me contents inside. I knew right away that I would have to buy this book for myself.
I have been reading comics for over twenty years but DC has been putting them out for over seventy. This collection breaks down their publishing history year by year. There are loads of images and information that isn't easily accessible. The nice thing about the year by year layout is you can easily visit any year to see what the major happenings were. If you're curious what happened the year you were born or the year you first started reading, it's all right there. Besides the yearly information, there is more in this collection.

For trivia buffs, it's not just DC information presented here. We know that there was actually other events occurring in the world and at the bottom of the pages, we also get information on other major events that happened that year.
The mix of detailed information along with oversized, full-color images will make any DC Comics fan happy. People don't often think about just how much history DC has and this is a great way to showcase it. It's a great book that you can either sit and read cover to cover or jump around to different years to get a feel for everything that DC has contributed to the comic industry.
Now I need to decide whether or not to purchase the giant (and pricey) DC 75th Anniversary Book.
