This is one of those fabulous cross over books that is packed full of interesting content about the development of the advertising industry in UK, but it does not feel like a dry text book because the narrative is so well written.
It is ideal for anyone interested in advertising - perhaps working in the industry and wanting to gain useful leap frog insights that come most often from years of experience or studying advertising and keen on gaining rich case study based examples to develop a rich, historical contextual understanding of the subject area. If you were to use YouTube to access the TV advertisement campaigns mentioned it would make the narrative even more powerful and engaging.
