The Golden Age of Advertising - the 70s

I dabble with photography and graphic design every now and so often and I found myself using this book for inspiration. It's a wonderful compilation of ads and 70s artwork that gives me vivid ideas for color palettes and texture. I've even used some of these images for direct reference when I was color correcting a few pictures in Photoshop. Love this book.

I liked it; very telling.

Great book, great price, great memories. Awesome colors and thick pages.

of old advertising - had quite a few laughs...great book! If you want to see how advertising has changed this a good book to check out.

I really like the different categories showing how was life in America during the 70's, showing fashion, food, cars and so many others.

Julie scoffed at the purchased, and then was seen absorbed in the book laughing and smiling and waht not.

This book looks at ads, mostly magazine, from the 1970s for a variety of products and services. These ads reflect the times: loosening morals, awful clothes and drugs. The color process was excellent, with the exception of several blurred pages in my copy. It would appear that not all the processes were aligned.

I was a voracious magazine reader as a kid so I remember almost all of the ads in this book. Yes, the ads were ugly but you buy this book for the nostalgia, not the actual ads. Every time you turn a page, you'll have a memory hurtling out of your subconscious of something you haven't thought about for years. You'll smile and remember how simple life was when everything was on 8-track. You think "sex sells" now?!! I can't believe how risque most of this stuff was for its day! So, if you're a baby-boomer, and I'm one of the last of that generation born in the 60s, you will really enjoy this book. It's easy to pick and put down since you're really only looking at pictures. This is a fun book to pass along to your boomer friends, too. Share the love.

I would like to say a big thank you to Julies book shop for the book, it was in perfect condition, and arrived today, the post around Durham could be better, and I am better off than most because we have a great postman. thank you once again to Amazon for great service. Tom Young.
