Life’s
been so busy since my July vacation that I’ve basically stopped checking in on
most of the literary blogs I follow- so my apologies if you’ve seen this
elsewhere- but I saw this post over at BrainPickings and thought it was worth
sharing: The first ads for famous books.
For
example, you've got Toni Morrison rocking a Roberta Flack afro:
Truman
Capote looking like he’s pushing barbiturates, instead of books: (I’m pretty
sure that pic was snapped in an opium den)
And
Kurt Vonnegut pulling off the ‘Get-off-my-lawn-you-damn-kids’ face better than most
men 40 years his senior.
Many
more here. Enjoy.
