DESCRIPTION:
Robert Bell said These books are a great resource, with limitations. These books are a great resource and provide hours of enjoyable reading. My graphic designer keeps borrowing them for reference. When I was a kid, I used to love going through the old copies of TIME and NEWSWEEKjust to read the ads! I think they provide more insight into popular culture than articles.There are some limitations. The source of materials seems to be from particular magazines, and perhaps some manufacturers did not consent to some ads. For example, in the Consumer Products section, t. chuck full of the stuff a baby boomer would remember! Reviewer This book is really wonderful! Full of advertisements from the 60's - complete with the trends and styles, cars, space program pitches, homes, architecture, and other nostalgic things from the 60s! It is really a wonderful visual time capsule and has hundreds of pages! I love it and refer to it often both for reading as well as getting ideas for my 1960's style artworks! Has tons of full color photos and fills the pages with lots of eye candy! Great book and brings back memories!. "jam packed with cool ads" according to Elwood Conway. This super thick book is packed with reproductions of various advertisements from the 60s. Each ad is wonderfully reproduced. Lots of memories will flood back if you are old enough to recall these products and their accompanying ads. Everyone else will simply enjoy how silly we were back in the 60s and how hip we thought we would be if we only owned these products. Especially hilarious are the ads predicting homes of the future! A truly outstanding compilation.
