Book Reviews of Kings of Madison Avenue: The Unofficial Guide to Mad Men
Book Review: A great, insightful read for big Mad Men fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm one of those Mad Men fans that have watched every episode in the series thus far multiple times - maybe even dozens. I notice new details each and every time, no matter how subtle. If you're the kind of fan that loves the series that much and admires all the details, this is a fun read. It delves into interesting cultural, era and landmark-specific aspects, giving you a broader appreciation for not only what was going on in the episode, but what's gone into making an episode. From learning about the actors themselves, to things that have influenced Matt Weiner to famous authors and books of the time, you'll walk away even more satisfied with everything you've enjoyed and - if you're like me - want to relive those episodes another time or two.
Summary of Kings of Madison Avenue: The Unofficial Guide to Mad Men
Reveling in the consumerist decadence of AMC?s infamous advertising house Sterling Cooper, this complementary volume to the groundbreaking series Mad Men provides behind-the-scenes revelations, episode guides, cast biographies, and rich sidebar content, including “How to Party Like the Mad Men.? Delving beneath the glitz and glamour to highlight the workings of a sophisticated modern classic, this definitive fan guide also offers fascinating sociological context and cultural analysis. The details of historical ad campaigns that are woven into the show?s storylines are provided—such as Volkswagen Beetle?s landmark “Think Small? campaign, the Nixon/Kennedy presidential push, and the creation of Lucky Strike?s “It?s toasted? slogan. This is the ultimate guide to a series that has been praised by the New York Times, Time magazine, and USA Today.
