Nothing helps define a period like its advertisements, and it’s fascinating how much one can learn of a bygone age through them. So I was really excited to see Read Me: A Century of Classic American Book Advertisements on our shelves — the book reproduces ads for books that have appeared in various publications over the years, decade by decade. It starts in the 1900s with Rudyard Kiplin and Theodore Dreiser and ends with Barack Obama and Andrew Sullivan. Great for your coffee table!
