{"product_id":"mid-century-ads-bibliotheca-universalis","title":"Mid-Century Ads (Bibliotheca Universalis)","description":"Gleaned from thousands of images, this book offers the best of American print advertising in the age of the “Big Idea.” From the height of American consumerism, bold and colorful campaigns paint a fascinating portrait of the 1950s and ’60s, as concerns about the Cold War gave way to the carefree booze-and-cigarettes capitalism of the Mad Men era.\nDigitally remastered for optimum reproduction quality, the ads burst with crisp fonts and colors, as well as a sexy sense of possibility, beguiling their audience to buy everything from guns to girdles, cars to toothpaste, air travel to home appliances. At turns startling, amusing and inspiring, this panorama of midcentury marketing is at once an evocative period piece and a showcase of design innovation and advertising wit.\n\nAbout the series\nBibliotheca Universalis — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 3836556324\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.3836556324.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Heller, Steven|Heimann, Jim\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
