Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A great look at my favorite magazine and an inside look at Madison Avenue advertising. Needless to say the art work is flawless but I was beyond impressed with the detail described in putting together the "ads". More of a textbook than the actual magazine so if you want to just have the comics I suggest any of the other collections available. This is part of my permanent collection
