The Savvy Librarian’s Night Table: Ten amazing titles guaranteed to bring you peace, prosperity, and happiness
Article at School Library Journal
Here is an excerpt for the fourth book in the list: Though the amazing ad reproductions are often the stars, this is far more than a coffee-table book. Garner’s contextual essays keyed to each decade evidence top-notch scholarship. Garner reminds us that advertising is really all about getting a book into “a potential reader’s line of sight,” something that remains “a long, difficult, sometimes anguished process” even today. Ironically, Read Me was essentially ignored by the library and the trade press reviewers, but don’t let that stop you. Read it!
