A good starting point

At first, this looks like a coffee table book, with all pictures and no words. Then you may say there is not enough color. Come on, what do you expect for the price? On closer examination, you find it is a great collection of Art Deco Style Advertising art (selected by Theodore Menten.) He made a good choice from several magazines and books, which appeared, between 1924 and 1940. This is a good starting point to know more about the advertising art of that era. There is an index for artists for further investigation. Later you can really use this book for a coffee table. The nice things about this book are the pictures and "A Dover edition is designed for years of use!" The paper will not yellow with age.
