- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This volume definitely loses something in an ebook format, but, nevertheless, it is a pleasing (and brief) stroll through some nostalgia-inducing advertising art from the early 20th century. It was a time when shopping and eating out was portrayed as a luxury, and these images are good evidence of that. I'd love to adapt some of them to a website.
