Definitely for reading, but also as interior decor.

This book shows how advertising encompasses three of the most influential areas of our lives: industrial technology, popular culture, and mass media. The authors present an explanation of the attacks on advertising and the counterarguments against them, and explore the context in which advertising is created within agencies. The book provides a theory of how advertising links products and symbols in a consumer society, and offers many insights into the impact of advertising on social issues and social policy.
