Advertising in America: The First Two Hundred Years 1 review Charles A. Goodrum, Helen Dalrymple
Harry N Abrams, 1990
Thorough and fascinating history of American advertising
Goodrum and Dalrymple detail, through text and pictures, the evolution of American advertising in a fascinating and easy-to-read way. Plus the pictures are very eye-catching. I just wish they'd kept the chapter on bad advertising.

Texas 24/7 1 review Rick Smolan, David Elliot Cohen
Dorling Kindersley, 2004
It's nice, but the thumbnails are cut off
A nice book, however. the THUMBNAILS on the top of the book in each page is cut off prematurely. So you end up seeing people's head chopped off, instead of showing the thumbnail photos completely.

Since not all of them have the making of a good scene for panoramic photograph, his album does not follow the common and perhaps expected themes of similar endeavors. That s why there are some lesser known details and ...
