5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book of unusual advertising nostalgia, January 3, 1998
By A Customer
As a kid, did you prefer reading cereal boxes to reading books? Ever order something from an ad in the back of a comic book? If so, you'd be crazy not to get this wonderful book ("while supplies last"). It's loaded with some of the most outrageous (yet authentic) comic book advertising ever created. From Sea Monkeys to "FREE" monkeys, the ads are all reproduced in living color (in some cases far better than the originals!). You'll find all the great, original hype and propaganda far more outrageous than would be acceptable by today's advertising standards (and that's saying something)! There are familiar ads of years gone by, and more than a few unusual ads that you've likely never seen before. This book is an absolute bargain for anyone who wants a flashback of fun nostalgia. It's entertaining and a joy to read. In fact, you might just rekindle that burning urge to rush out and buy yourself an ant farm. Highly recommended!

2.0 out of 5 stars Old Ads You Wouldn't Look At Twice..., July 28, 2008
Based on the two 5-star reviews and my fondness for retro advertising, I placed an order for this book. I was very disappointed.

I understand the whole point of this book is that it's a collection of bad advertising from the 40's and 50's. But the ads aren't exceptionally bad, there's nothing all that interesting about most of them.

If you're into retro advertising, the books published by Taschen are the way to go and feature some of the best ads from a given period.

5.0 out of 5 stars humorous, June 22, 2007
This book is a fun and easy read - actually, there isn't much reading really. Definitely a fun buy! The imaginary is excellent.
