Here Today, Gone Tome-orrow
Here’s a heads-up for fans of Taschen’s All-American Ads books. I’ve acquired most of these hefty collections of vintage ads over the past year, having just got the ’40s volume a couple of weeks ago. It’s great as usual, with lots of pages of beautiful illustrations. If you’re thinking about getting that particular one, better move fast — Taschen marked the book “sold out” in their latest catalog and no longer lists it on their website. Since the ’40s and ’50s were the two earliest volumes published (in 2002), that might possibly mean that Taschen is taking All American Ads of the 40s out of print. Looks like you can still buy it at Amazon here, but for how long?
P.S. Pardon me for that awful entry title!
