Reviews

"A brilliant tour through the iconography and literature of America's grandest corporate dreamtime, the Space Age." -William Gibson, author of Neuromancer and Pattern Recognition "I wish I had this book when I started Mad Men. This is exactly what I look for, a concise visual-historical reference of mid-century advertising. Megan Prelinger has uniquely and beautifully taken us on a trip back to space." -Gay Perello, Prop Master for Mad Men "Stupendous." -Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude "To the author of this remarkable work must go well-deserved laurels for rescuing rocket/space ad artwork from virtual obscurity. Megan Prelinger's book is a treasure that should find a worldwide readership of space historians, lovers of space art, and all who seek to understand the evolution of humanity's transition to a space-faring species." -Fred Ordway, former member of the Wernher von Braun rocket team and consultant to Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey
