Publisher Synopsis
"A delightful combination of historical commentary and beautiful photos. . . The author covers a dizzying swath of territory with remarkable concision, including magazines devoted to literary pursuits, trade, social activism, business, and fashion. . . . Lomazow's expertise on the subject is inarguably magisterial. . .The book is adorned with dozens of stunning photographs, some immediately recognizable as iconic and others tantalizingly esoteric and rare. This is a remarkable history-thoughtful, granularly meticulous, and comprehensive-as well as a visually spectacular showpiece. One needn't be a magazine collector to thoroughly enjoy this refreshingly original overview of American history." * Kirkus Reviews * Read more...
