All-American Ads of the 50's

When I have $40 to blow on a book, I'm going to buy this one:

You can read more about it at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/3822811580/ref=wl_it_dp/002-1619770-7962400?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I3G3NOJV2F22O2&v=glance&colid=2IPBA37GRO0DW" target="_blank">Amazon.com&#39;s product page</a>. Judging by the reviews, this is a first-class book of atomic age nostalgia that I think I&#39;d enjoy flipping through every now and then. Does anyone here have this book? Is it as wonderfully exhaustive as it sounds? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

My favourites were the cigarette ads that claimed smokes to be good for you somehow. I only wish they were [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
