From those wonderful folks who gave you Pearl Harbor

From those wonderful folks who gave you Pearl Harbor: front-line dispatches from the advertising war/Jerry Della Femina 253 pgs.

This is written a little after the Mad Men era but still has some fun stories of heavy drinking and pranks on Madison Avenue. Jerry Della Femina opened his own agency after working for 3 or 4 others and is a self-made man. That is, he is not getting a bunch of business from his contacts from his old neighborhood since most of them are in jail now. There are some politically incorrect references for todays culture (fags, girl=any woman) but I guess that just goes to show you that some things have changed. - Christa
