Vintage Ads Books?

[Naama]

Hi all!
So, I'm looking for books on Vintage Add's, best would be something with a loooooooooooooooooooot of pictures. Does anyone know if something like that is around? I'm looking for ads from the 30's to 50's. I only know about the "all american ad" books, is there anything else out there?
(Links would be welcomed as well (to sites with pics))

Hi Naama,

Taschen Books has a series out called All American Ads.
There are also other stuff if you look through their Pop Culture book list.

I have their American Ad books from '20 to '60 as well as some other books. They are all very fun to look at.

I work in an ad agency library and we have the All American Ad series and they are awesome, highly recommend!

Dover Publications might have a book with what you're looking for.

There are some Works Progress Administration posters here. I don't know if they're quite what you're looking for. After a quick websearch I came across this site with ads from women's magazines of the 1920s to the 1940s.

All American Ads

The All American Ads - books are great and have nothing but pictures!!!
But being a professionel, I somehow misses the truely great ads from the different periods. But they are fun though!

I've seen series books called "Advertising in the 40s/50s/60s" at Barnes and Noble. They are on the bargain shelves for $12.98

I know you asked for books...

...but there is also a website - www.plan59.com - that features a bunch of ads and images from the 50's. I think they also have prints you can buy...
